Scriptwriter

Written by the50yearoldpoet

I was never able

 to sing a song,

I would always

input words

that didn’t belong.

And while I thought

I might captivate,

It always ended in failure,

for my voice wasn’t great.

Realising I would never

be able to confess

I decided to try

another avenue to impress.

I picked up a pen

and let it lead me astray,

To rewrite me

memories of yesterday.

Back to a time

when I was young and naïve,

a web of lies

 I could easily weave.

My personal history

looks a lot brighter

now that I am

my own scriptwriter.

  1. It’s called healing… self healing anyway. The wounds of your soul accumulated from both ancient collective and contemporary personal history, to be able to move forward in your present self to a more beautiful and shining future…
    I dunno… guild your self in the armour of your ancestors, learn the lessons of family karma, and attempt to prevent inflicting those wounds upon your future generations.
    Maybe. Something like that. I think.
