Lost in Cinema

Where Fantasy takes over and reality is lost

A Free Verse Poem

An opening to a world anew, A world filled with fantastic fantasy where all can go according to plan Or all can turn so terribly wrong.

The hero, the villain, A role we are afraid to take on.

Our fears cast out, our dreams lived, Experienced for a few brief minutes, The actor taking our persona Manipulating a new mould Within the mind, Giving a new sense of confidence Capable of situation control Otherwise hard to master.

To live out our pain, We experience it through them, yet feel it not.

Attention falls to those who Adopt a false sense of a new reality, Confusion plagues the imagination Believing the role they have now become.

Captivated, fixated deep within the mind, Bleeding out the personality unconfident, Bearing the soul to something they know not.

Suppression of failings, Confrontation cast aside, Shed the old skin, embrace the new The true self-lost in time and space.

Explorations. ( Calming the Storm in a Young Mans Mind ) Fantasy - Lost in Cinema. 1990.
