Motion picture life
Days
Flicking by
Framed in wanted abstraction

Famous
Known
Infamous
Jekyl or Hyde

Many never know
The actor
Performing with impunity
From crimes never committed

Loved
For good character played
Hated
For opposite

Directed
With prejudice
Ego
In the dressing room

Molded
Like clay
In studio image
Identity lost

Reality living
Flashing
On silver screen
Long after star's death

Startime

WOW!!! I can't image living like that. You would tend to lose yourself in the charaters you played. It is hard enough trying to be ourselves let alone when someone else is controlling who we are. Great writing here, Sir Robert. **hugs**

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.

They say LIFE is one big, giant movie.
In this movie, we have control over the stunts. GOOD WRITE HERE ROB
