Behind the Scenes

I am the leading actor
in this movie called life.
The cameras are rolling
all day and all night.
The scenes are shot
from my eyesight
with or without light.
The film scenes shot
are stored in my brain.
There are no ‘cuts’ or
‘do-overs’. The camera
keeps rolling whether
I’m awake or not.
As my movie is finished,
memories are diminished.
After the movie is made,
all things in life fade.
Only if you saw behind
the scenes, you would
understand the man
that I am. You would
see all that I was:
the good, bad, and ugly.
See me for me and look
for all the good things
that I am and will be.
