My life as a movie

I feel like my life is a movie
everyday
New dialog is written
New characters are added

I watch the business on set
People doing everything they can
To make it all perfect

The sets are being made
The lines are being written
The story being told

This movie is my life
And yet I don't seem to have a role
A character
A place

I have no lines
I have no part
I have no place

I try to get someone
To listen
To understand
That this movie is my life

But no one can hear me
I scream
But they walk on by

No matter how hard I try
No one hears my screams
No one hears me

I feel like my life is a movie
But i'm not in it....

Neat! I had a similar thought awhile ago. I tried to write a poem, but failed. I just couldn't write it in words this thought. You accomplished what I thought to the impossible, bravo!
I like it :) Very dark, but I can relate. My life feels like this movie, that doesn't end. The hurt, the pains, everything, just the same. Yet the movie keeps playing....

This was a great idea to write about! I think alot of people feel this way, but one must remember it's their life they can be the director!

Nicely done, very well written with a deep and meaningful theme to it; I enjoyed it, keep it up~

and sometimes life's a horror movie. and the zombie just won't die. and i just don't have the superpowers i'm supposed to possess. :P
Nice write, very interesting, very original - which is something i really appreciate.

wow, I think thats probably what everyone will think of, life as a movie, isnt that so cool? The confusion at the ending is so good! I love it!

[Greg Skura]

[Sunny Skye]

Very good and intresting.

I love this writing. Sounds like a great idea to me. Maybe you're feeling disconnected from your own life, out of control.

Pros: Hmm, this is an interesting idea. I've used this idea comparing it to writing, but I never took the route you did. But, this route is interesting and I like it. The lines are short and flow quite well. The story you tell is interesting. My favorite lines are the fifth stanza.

Cons: None.

Overall: A very interesting idea that was communicated very well. I like it quite a lot.
