The story of my life

RSS

By Joseph W Cartlidge

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 punk 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 such a huge 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
