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....

Very well thought out poem, and you cant be heard ? life is indeed a whirl around us isn't it, people to busy to stop and really listen to what you have to say, need to say, want to say like a player in a film wiyhout lines to read. loved it

Sarah, I love this unique way of looking at life as a movie. Great!

Keep screaming until someone hears you. Your poems sound like you are filled with loneliness, anger, and longing, and I worry if it is truly autobiographical. If so, please seek out someone in real life who can help you to see beyond the pain to the possibilities.

It's kind of suck-ish to think this movie is yours and you're not in it... well that bull. but other than that it was cool. =)

You really gave me a thought in this poem, and I saw a little bit of sarcasm. It was very well written, and I enjoyed reading it.

That sucks if the movies about you and your not in it......smiles
I liked your play on words in this one Sarah even if it was very sad thanks for sharing.
