Now,finally i see,all that's lost,could have been
plays,in my mind,just like a film,that has no end

See my future,and the past,on this silver screen
No popcorn,just food for thought,feeds my mind
Now, no longer a Star, my role, just a has -been
As it comes to the end, again starts to rewind

The credits,scroll down,then film starts again

Great description, the same film keeps playing can almost hear the projector,and the feelings of futility as life has put you in a role that feels like it has little worth, well written my friend

The silver screen is such a great metaphor for life. And yet, when the end arrives, as you stated in your last line, it just repeats. When do we actually learn not to repeat? *sigh* This was very provocative, paul. It made for a wonderful read.

So much depth to speak of
strange and intricate is life
a interesting concept you've taken on
humbling,and nobel,for we are so self important as people
and what is it we hold so dear?
is it really what's imparitive in this play of life
while not trivializing our existance,the perspective taken is clever
nicely conveyed

You got me speechless, Paul. It's amazing. Only some lines, but a state of mind has been shown improbably well. I think, it's one of your best poems.
Keep it going, my friend.
