Narrating

I’ve always walked around narrating my life in my mind

I thought it was something peculiar to me, I never thought I would find

Someone else who did the same, until in a book I read

About a female character narrating her life in her head

*

Sometimes in first person, sometimes in third, the narrative

Runs in my mind as I go about my life, and I give

A more checkered life to the “character” that is me

Turning each minor challenge into an adversity

I pretend to be a storyteller accomplished

I go further and imagine my writing published

*

Maybe narrating their lives to themselves is something a lot of people do

And just like me, they keep it to themselves too

Narrating my life makes me feel like I’m on a hero’s journey

Perhaps others feel the same way as me..
