SCREEN TIME.

They say we are the stars of our own stories,
And they should know,
Being the audience of said shows,
But if so
Then I would’ve hoped
For a little more input by now,
More constructive opinions from them,
Seeing as my chronicle has not always been strong.

Often my direction’s askew,
My production values,
Cinematography;
Or was it the wardrobe?
The make-up?
The locations
And props?
Possibly the soundtrack has been lacking
Or the accents were hesitant.
Could be the lighting was frightful
And the editing imbedded.
Or maybe,
Just maybe,
The cast and co-stars
Were far from perfect
And unable to provide the right support.

But most likely of all,
What has eaten into my critiques,
Is the script that ripped from me a sequel;
My telling of the tale,
My fable,
And the only solution for that
Is to utilize
Another writer
For my life.
