Blockbuster

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.
