You May Be A Star- What If?

The first in a series, asking questions and challenging the typical perceptions of life as we know it.

Have you ever fallen victim to sorrow and dismay?

Have you ever dealt with trauma, have you ever rued a day?

Have you ever felt a joy that brought tears to your eyes?

Have you considered what you do endears many lives?

Every fun time you have, every bad day you witness

Just might be the work of a writer at business

Your troubled times and the drama your living

May be viewed by a theater, permitted by ticket

You may be a star, spreading great cheer

To a laughing audience none of you hear

Or maybe the words you think to yourself

Are read by many and pile the shelves

Maybe all that you've known to love

Is just a fantasy viewed from above

You may be a star, held on a pedestal

Your life but a slot on a TV schedule

You may be a star, a figment in space

Brought alive by an actor who shares your face

You may be a star to a world in the distance

A work of fiction, your life nonexistent 

So I challenge all those who skeptically mock,

If you doubt it's reality, prove that it's not...

Author's Note

Give your honest opinion and tell me what you think. Keep in mind the "What If" thing is meant to start a conversation that's open to all for finishing

This is a great poem. Many movies (and books) have themes such as this, and it's definately an interesting thought.

Great work, I've wondered about this before, and it's a cool thought. Yup, there's no way to prove otherwise...
One thing, just a little picky grammatical issue, on the third line of the second stanza, "Your troubled times and the drama your living," the first use of the word "your" was correct, but the second "your" should probably be "you're," at least it you mean to say what I think you do.
Anyway, this is excellent, and good thoughts. I will be adding it to my library. A pleasure to read. :)

Thought provoking piece of writing.
We are all blackholes made of smaller and smaller blackholes....Our root is the same in the sacred mean of Creation that links all event horizons...from the subatomic to the Universal..But that's just what I believe...We could be, as you say, some sort of hologram

Lovely write , thought provoking questions , a work of fiction your life non existent. ..

[Neva Flores Smith - Cha..]

I really, really liked the ending.........what is real? I beg to differ if someone tells me that many of us have not stopped at one time or the other and asked this question. Excellent work.

Also, if I turned out to be a star of some sort, I feel awfully sorry for those who took interest in my story, I've lived a dull one so far, I'd be one dusty book on their shelf.

I was accused of being a famous baseball player when I was young. Got old and now I look like a old goat. A interesting poem. I had offered to go on TV to express my views. I would not. I don't want to be popular. I want to help and fix. I like the thoughts create by your excellent poetry.
