Film of life
Film of life
My mind it often wanders
About these many themes
What if my life was perfect
Just like in my daydreams
And if my life were like a movie
What genre would it be
From years zero to twelve
It's a comedy I see
Always causing trouble
My siblings I would blame
I had a mischievous wild streak
I could not be tamed
Through my early teenage years
A teen drama it would be
And I feel sorry for my folks
Who deserved much more than me
I acted like a spoiled child
This part I hate to share
The pain I caused my Mom and Dad
Was way too much to bare
Through years eighteen through twenty three
The movie it would be
A coming of age, real life drama played perfectly by me
Midway through year twenty three
Things really changed for me
I met the girl of my dreams
A love Story this would be
It would roll into a saga
Spanning nearly twenty years
A family films what we got now
It'll sometimes bring you tears
Now the final transformation in this film I call my life
Is a cautionary tale
About a husband and a wife
It's a story rarely seen
And hardly ever told
There's a paralyzing plot twist
You'll be shocked as its unfolds
Just when you think your watching, the middle of the film
It's over without a warning
And BAM the movie ends
As the credits roll
You'll wonder what went wrong
How could she coldly leave a man
Who's love was oh so strong.
I know I was not perfect
I never claimed to be
But I deserved a better ending
than the one she wrote for me.
