Life Is Not A Movie

Beginning to realize life isn't a movie, but I am the protagonist.
Only God is the director, and the one who builds the cast list.

Sometimes He rewrites the script without notice,
And shifts the scene to sharpen my focus.

There is no rehearsal in life, no second take,
No edits, no pause, just the choices I make.

The spotlight doesn't wait for me to gather my thoughts,
So i speak with conviction, ready or not.

This isn't Hollywood, I'm not here to pretend,
I'm here to become who I was meant to be in the end.

The ending may bring peace or hesitation, a moment filled with joy or desperation.
Life is not a movie, but it has a final destination.
