If My Life Was Metaphorical Entertainment

Life is not perfect.

And if life were like a song

 And when those imperfections seem to be written

In a major key,

I will sing my song

Knowing perfectly well

That I am out of tune,

 But at least I’m singing on.

 

And if life was like Star Wars

And it felt like the sith

Ruled the word

I will become a jedi,

 because I know

The force will always

Be with me.

 

If life was a comedy club

I will always deliver

The punch line

No matter how many times I’m heckled,

For I will be laughing inside.

 

In conclusion

I will treat life

Like entertainment

Through the blockbusters and flops

And act out my improved lines

Until god calls a curtain call,

Or rolls the credit.

 

Even then there is no “the end”.

This poem is unique: you've 'said' what is a poetic focus on how to be, how to stand up to life day by day.. whatever. Would if could use one stanza as a brilliant mantra. Bur each has power - even tho' gentle, to beckon our own thoughts and actions to follow suit. Great writing, Dale. Special.

I enjoyed your metaphors here Dale. We are all players on the stage of life, it is said. The curtain comes down when our maker calls time. Have a great weekend. I enjoyed your words.
