Mosaic

Individual Personality

Two words both 5 syllables each

The world tells you that you should have one

You should be different from the rest

But do they really exist?

Is there someone really with an Individual Personality?

Is someone different than the rest of us?

I believe otherwise

For me, every single person is an impersonator

It's just that we copy from so many things

That the result is unique

At the core, every single person is just an impression of the lives they encountered

But generalizing is a bad thing I've known in recent times

So I write only for myself

When I was born I was an empty canvas

But since I lack drawing skills

Let's call my life a 22 by 16 mm reel

An empty reel waiting for the shutter to be opened

Waiting to capture 24 frames

From the moment I was born I started recording

And I still haven't stopped

The red light still blinks in the corner

And the reel is spinning continuously

You give names to my personality

Nerdy, Boring, Funny, Nice, Rude, or maybe an Asshole

I'm all of it yet neither of it

You say I have a unique identity

I say I'm a mosaic of everything I ever understood

My reel contains every movie I ever watched

Every poem I ever read

Every book I ever felt

A character that I loved

A character I hated

A scene I was thrilled to watch

A moment I cried in

Every little detail is in that one reel

I can't call myself an Individual

What I am is a mixture of several creations

The Brainchild of several artists

People strive for an Individual Personality all their lives

I wish they could just record and see

The world is already built around them

All they need to do is live

I carry my mosaic with me

Hopefully to my grave

Untouched, unseen

My movie dies with me.

A Film shot in the Academy Ratio.

I want an Oscar engraved in my Tombstone

"Here lies the Best Film The Mosaic of little things"
