If my Life was a Story

Location

If my life was a story,

I suppose,

every thought I think,

every word I say,

every action I do,

would be written down

for generations to see

the lies you give me.

 

If I was the main character

fighting dragons and finding my prince

who would you be?

Not the protagonist or the antagonist,

I can't seem to place you in either catagory,

but I still can't leave you out of my story.

 

Lets say for conversation sake

I was Dorthy,

you would be the Cowardly lion.

Fierce, strong,on the outside

but afraid.

Not of your shawdow,

or falling in love,

or petty things,

you are afraid of me.

How could that be?

 

I am not scary,

or intimidating.

I am me- your friend.

You, my dear, are afraid of my thoughts and opinons.

Because you know I only mean well,

but you push me away.

So far that I can't possibly fight my way.

 

If I was the author,

I would enjoy the complexity that you bring my story.

But I would kill you off

because I need a change

and I am sick of wriing about rain.

 

If my life was a story

and I was the protagonist,

my thoughts, words, and actions,

would all be written down.

They would be all about you.

If I was on my jorney

it would not be the dragons I wold be fighting

it would be you.
