*Movie time*
Movie is enjoyment source
Am I a movie ? Yes of course
There is a pattern I observe
My funny bones, In a platter I serve
I was popular in school college
As was free spirited without a baggage
When I was happy, people were around
But when needed them I found
Myself alone in crowd
One who have tasted appreciation
Tends to seek validation
I was seeking constant relevance
My jovial nature would get me joy in abundance
After my parents exited my story
Here started my worry
And in order to make self fine
Started socialising this time
I see in myself a pattern of need
Constant validation to feed
I tried portraying self as funny billy
Not realising I was losing respect and was taken silly
Over my jokes someone can laugh
But when in need,I see their presence with heart half
Suppose if I have no more impactful array
And still if I choose to share worry
Society doesn't find the movie entertaining
And they switch channel for joy attaining
I understood what being used looked at it's best
To get information, entertainment and be Catalyst
In my movie I am my hero and creative lead
I will ensure to not anymore entertain creepers and feed
My energy shouldn't drain
On people who treat me a movie in vain
I am although my lead character dent
But should not be a source of others entertainment
Starting of the story I can't change
But I will script the climax in unique range
Let me focus on acting
Let God be directing
So that I work on the script that he has given
And be focussed and duty driven
Ofcourse my movie should have comic element
My family and self to be happy intent
But I shouldn't let my emotions be open for all odd
It's a treasure to be preserved and shared with God
My movie is straight forward
Me spicing up too much looks absurd
Self respect and happiness within is the key fit
In my eyes my own movie should be a super hit

Amazing 😍 I loved the idea of becoming a movie itself in the poem. I loved the line questioning "Am I movie?, yes of course ' that was deeply introspective as if reflecting on self. Adding god as a director is a beautiful divine touch in movie of our life. I also loved the line, 'after my parents exited my story, here started my worry', it was so relatable. And the line, 'script has given...' is so deep which makes us to think about our life script which is given and what should we do as our duty. Its eye opener. Keep sharing ❤️
Superb❤️
I appreciate your creativity ❤️
The beautifully woven emotions highlighted the experience of overcoming societal pressures and finding one's true identity. Described as a journey of a man who was initially known for his cheerful nature, but slowly gets trapped in a quest for validation and constant external approval. Metaphorically comparing him to a "movie", highlighting how his entertaining personality became a source of entertainment for others, leading to a feeling of being used and a gradual erosion of self-esteem.
Through introspection and a new understanding of his worth, he resolves to prioritise his happiness and authenticity, writing a new story where self-esteem and inner fulfilment take centre stage. This insightful piece is commendable.❤️
