Imitation of Life

If only to crystalize it,
Shattering that mustard seed
with so many promises
That leave only a bitter taste.

Dissolved in a sea of hostility
The buoyancy of being invisible
While searching for meaning
In the irrelevance of one who relinquished
This imitation of life.

One thought on “Imitation of Life

    Beautiful poem!

    OMG, I have watched “Imitation of Life” a zillion times. I always bawl my eyes out in the end when Sara Jane shows up at her mother’s funeral. Quite a movie that was for its time.
