The lives I see on the movie screen

Life in the mainstream

We all fell short
But we should all be proud
We broke the mold that holds us
Screamed out loud in one voice

Life in the mainstream

Is that how life is supposed to be?
The lives I see on the movie screen
Impossible standards, expectations
Life in the mainstream

We all fell short
But we should all be proud
We broke the mold that holds us
Screamed out loud in one voice
Rejoice, the world is ours

this was not one the best that i have read but very interesting. if i were you i would take the first part and keep going with that. i really liked that but the second was sort of, well, blah... i think i know where you were going with the second part but i really think you should take on more with the first part. but thank you for sharing.

i agree with europeanprincess it isn't the best but it ranks up there. i am disappointed and shocked at how far this life has fallin from what it was. the world doesn't belong to actors and world powers, it belongs to everyone. your poem holds alot of truth. great job.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
