Just like the movies

I used to wish

desperately

that my life would be

like the movies.

I wished my life

would be just like the ones

I saw on the screen.

Well, I used to.

Then one morning

I woke up

and I realized

much too late

that I never did specify

what kind of movie I wanted to be in.

So now

I'm just another tortured soul

awaiting my demise.

And though sometimes I can't tell the difference

between what's real and what isn't

I hope someone sees this

and believes me when I say

that I never wanted it to be like this.

It was an accident, I swear.

I know that

homicide can't really be an accident

especially not after all the times it's happened

but maybe I can convince someone else otherwise.
