Your life runs like a movie

Kidnappings killings starvation
before you even left the womb.

How to describe this lineage?
This deep drive to survive

to change your destiny
to make it out alive.

This tapestry of hardship
embroidered with fear

offers few pockets of
relatability to grip on to

It only finds home in the
context of a blockbuster

where we can detach ourselves
and marvel at how all this

could have happened to
onе person.
