My Life Defined

a series of acts with a few different scenes and the script is me knowing yet praying that it wont be a tragedy Every act i face a series of tests each test given a name called a scene I repeat these scenes like life lessons and when i get them right like a game show i move on to the next act How many acts are in a Shakespearean tragedy anyway will i be strong enough when in this test no matter how near or far from home that's always where I'm pointed I walk out one door to find myself on set still outside this time so it should appear another door i walk into leads me inside but yet on a yacht going far away and the actors are always there asking me dilemmas choose this choose that and then I'm right back at the beginning flashback making it all make sense like a dram of circles inside my head the foreshadowing is thick for we all know the circle routine of the circle of doors that lead us around on the set from act one of home to outside then faraway and jail to yacht to flashback home again what is the lesson to be learned depends on the actors and the foreshadowing is thick story lines story lines this is my life the show must go on and i sit here wasting time to write the actors of my life were never friends and proof for look they are all on strike leaving me to walk these circles in my mind alone on this set blind home open the door sunrise blue bright outside sky open the door I'm on yacht open the door I'm in jail open the door I'm in outer space open the door I'm home again and the foreshadowing in this scene is clever but oh soo thick as i walk in circles by myself the story seems to stick how can i make their guts crawl and plan to fail soo tragicly no one would intervene and it would make us all sick?
