I'm Not Staring In Your Melodrama (Original)

Adult life

Has it's privileges

Taxation

Social & family obligations

Yet drama

Is everywhere you go

Surely

People are proudly

On the move

Yet getting nowhere

By being particularly misunderstood

Every time a hurdling situation

Appears on life's race track

Every person's exact

Starting position

Ranges from a number

Of variable degrees

For fulfilling

A casting call

For leading role players

Who will star & cater to

All opening auditions

Seen on a TV reality show

Pilot titled

The Weary & The Restless Of Everyone Elses Business

Will never be canceled or become null & void

As long as your willing to sponsor or coin

Someone elses chaos

If not

Then sign a non-disclaimer petition

Locking in your position

Mentioned on the next dotted underline

I'm Not Starring In Your Melodrama

Why be bothered with

Yesterday's pastime

If it will leave you behind

On the sidelines of life's travesty landmines

Concealed to never be refined or revealed

In the eyes of winners

Who've earned their lifetime achievement award

In valuing their own appealing

Self-worth portfolio not in terms of greed

Well this is very original, interesting creation you managed to pen here, great job...all the poem left me without any words(and yet here i am mumbling)

[Dana Alsamsam]

so true- there are many we encounter in our life that just want to insert themselves and everyone else in the door of every issue (or non issue) they can get their hands on. it's incredibly overbearing sometimes and this piece captures perfectly that desire to not be caught up in all of that! sometimes there are just better things to do than allow ourselves to be sucked into that mess. great work!

[Rita L. Sev]

What is this obsession we have with "Someone else's chaos"? You hit it spot-on, BP!

[Marc Marlon Villaflor]

Great lines, innovative writes and very appealing. Thanks for sharing :)

[Frieda P]

This is hysterical Bpoet, love your snarky sarcasm, this one if full of moxy...the title says it all! :-)

I'm Not Starring In Your Melodrama...i love that BP...Great line...Rose

[Girl Friday (Sarah W.)]

I'm not starring in your melodrama -- love that line...you are the master of one liners; always so careful with your phrasing.

I quite liked this one, though it was a thought provoking reality check. I like the complexity with which it was written, and the way that you brought the last three lines together in such a beautifully strong culmination. Well done.

The Weary & The Restless Of Everyone Elses Business

What an outstandingly witty and satirical line. Oh loved it. Laughed out loud.

Beyond that, I loved the way related themes seamlessly melded into one another.

Life is but a stage, but we should get off it, and get a real life. Brilliant.
