 Fantasy a fraction away from fright

On this stage

I am a poor player

We are all just

Walking shadows of life

Like flickering projections

Thrown on a cave wall

I am tied and bound

This is all I see

A predetermined storyline with none of my questions answered

The curtain falls on this player

Somewhere in between

Fantasy a fraction away from fright
Great alliteration!

"A predetermined storyline with none of my questions answered". I don't agree with the implication here, that anything is really pre-determined in our lives. At least, not totally pre-determined. However, I share your observation about the scarcity of answers.

The "player" which you refer to, probably represents a player in life. As in, playing along with life's rich journey?

"I am tied and bound". I did wonder what exactly, the writer see as binding or restricting her? Does she mean, in her choice of options in life? Or some other form of barrier, to her way of thinking? "Like flickering projections". I was not clear about this, line. Even so, it could by a way of showing how uncertainty or weakness, is always present in our lives. Or, that our awareness of reality, "flickers" from rich understanding, to a dark abyss....

That's pretty brilliant in my opinion. I love how you compared humans as just another projection in life... we all come and go. Words can't express how much I loved this. Awesome write! :]

I love it. How long has it been since you posted something new? Either way, it's been way too long.
