My mom pressed play and threw away the remote. The time was hers and my life she chose. I jumped on the scene with the script she wrote and acted a fool until I choked. See, it was her reading, until I wrote. I found my hand around my throat; since I couldn’t talk I scribbled a note. Reality stepped in and took the leading role…and drew the curtain on my show. I got tangled and struggled until my pride would subside. I searched high and low for life’s control, unsuccessful, and it definitely showed. I rested my head and waited for the next episode to begin. Humility stepped in; this episode was my life being told. I listened for a while until I couldn’t swallow anymore. I despised the outside, even more within. I need that manual, the rest I don’t want to see. Shut this off, it’s making me sore! I closed my eyes and covered my ears, until I realized it was all worth the tears. The only way to be a star is understand who you are. You want a lead role but you’re not qualified… figuratively speaking, you’re the furthest by far. You think you’re loved, only haters fill the stands…who are you without you, your #1 fan? I found the control, only these buttons don’t work…so I guess ill sit back, relax, and enjoy my show.
