Based On A True Story Poem by John McAndrew

Based On A True Story



Based on a true story,
My life had been.
A true story I tried to live,
A true story,
That had never happened to me.

And I wondered why,
The cast seemed so unfamiliar,
And I wondered why,
The weather was so gloomy.
And I wondered why,
The bread was stale,
And I wondered why,
The room was so dark.

I was giving up looking for the life switch,
Giving up a long long search.
But my heart for ever pulsing,
Waited, patiently creating,
The path that took me to you.
Where I find, my love,
Surprise -
A true story of such brilliance,
And a world so completely open,
That this one actor, stops,
Shakes off his role,
And crys to the heavens,
'I am free, I am free, I am free'.
