'main Character Or Maybe Not'

deep down hidden just beneath the coverings of my heart lies the hurt and pain hidden behind that smile the fear loneliness and confusion the battle between moving on and sticking around in all this I feel like I am watching a trailer of someone else's life it feels so much better being part of the audience instead of the main character 010120122015

Great. Great. Great!!! I felt it knew it and loved it. And it affected me. Yes I am the main charactar and all my poetry is about me and my sad story. And this poem says just that. John henry loving iii
