Getting Real : Tea for Two
Life is not like the movies | from Muzungu - Monday, October 27, 2008
accessed 350 times Just woke up and this came out of nowhere.
Shirley Temple with her plastic doll smile skipping inside a black and white fairytale.
Gene Kelley tap-dancing across the television with his sweetheart in a puffy pink cotton candy dress.
“Singing in the rain, what a glorious feeling, I’m happy again.”
A glorious feeling I never had. I want an umbrella to shield me from the weeping sky.
“My daddy has to go away, but he’ll be back most any day,
Any moment I will see, my daddy coming home to me.”
He never comes and I am left with only a grey angry heaven and my tears mingling with the raindrops.
“Raindrops keep falling on my head
But that doesn’t mean my eyes will soon be turning red.”
I blink and it’s the same nameless road. Different countries, same road. Cracked, potholed, third world roads. Different coloured natives, but always the same colourless road, leading nowhere, leading to a fate I cannot control.
Life is not like the movies. There is no happy ending.

Geesh, one must explain away creative writing on here it seems. Alright people, this was written as a childhood memory, watching movies (that we were allowed to see) and what I thought watching them, as a child. Key words here: AS A CHILD

Hope this is past sentiment Muzungu. Life instead can be wonderful, I still feel like I am on a "Road Trip" sometimes, bizarre things happen to me yet I keep pluggin' away like it's my last. I remember 20 years ago like it was yesterday, the crying, the emptiness, realizing I was raised in a cult so bizarre it only consisted of 10000 and would always ask God why? Why me? now I know things just happen, Sh** just happens, the best you can do is scrap the Sh** off your boots and keep on plodding.

Unlike the movies... There can be a happy ending, if you make one.
