In the Spotlight
Stuck in between two realities
A theater of comedies and tragedies
As if trapped in a building ablaze
I'm slowly losing myself in Life's race
Loneliness seeps in me anew
Tonight, once again, there is no sleep
Yet I wish for rainbows as I silently weep
.
I thought of life as a stage. We each have our own "drama/play" and, sometimes, we have roles in life that we don't want. What's expected of us becomes our default role. There aren't many who could stay true to themselves, and a lot of us could only wish for the proverbial rainbows and sunshine. Either way, this is my take on the dice.
On another note, I haven't done Poetry Dice in ages! This is my entry to Week 21 of Poetry Dice. Thanks for reading! :)
Good job @unspeakableme. I also sometimes think of life as a stage. I I guess what gives me comfort throughout the years is I feel we create our reality sometimes by way of staying focused on what we want and if we get distracted we get back on track. Thank you for your entry.
I'm re-learning that by and by. Being on here and reading about other people is reminding me that, to some degree, we do have a choice on what roles we play and how our lives play out. Thank you for stopping by :)

Great.
Here's a short one about overcoming trauma that i wrote..
I NO LONGER FEEL
Cold fists iron fists
Born in a family of beasts
Trying to run away from the death list
I fell and broke my wrist
Going down my memory lane
This heart and soul no longer knows pain
Gazing at the clouds by the window pane
These eyes know no rain
I no longer hear the wailing in my brain
No more blood drain
Finally peace has reigned
Thats why i sing this refrain
That's very deep. I hope this is not from personal experience though... I'll look for it in your blog in case you posted it. Thank you for sharing :)
good work!
Thanks :)
