My life is a movie

Rethabile Tsotetsi 2000 (Vereeniging)

Free verse
My life -a movie

I , the observer,

Slowly watching everything

Reacting- anxious

Heart racing

Eyes wide open

Feet ready to run-

Noise , sounds ,

floods of tears

Only Wishing

Only praying

change the channel I beg

no one is listening

Forced to

watch till the

end

About this poem

This poem is about a person who feels helpless.It allows the reader to imagine watching everything in their life falling apart. You have no control of everything just like watching a movie.You can react but feel like you can not do anything about your life. Feeling helpless and like you are unable to do anything to change the circumstances of your life.
