main character syndrome

I can stare out the window

play a sad song

and imagine the world

is still following along

but my book had its last chapter

a fairytale end

that surprise! didn’t last

to the end of all ends

although my story

kept creeping along

no book came to follow

to hear my sad song

I’m not the main character

or a side or a thought

just a girl without

life or maybe

just not enough

but boy could I tell you

what a run my show had

a box office movie

with thrills and chills and the like

with the right kind of

magic and flight

and adventuring all night

man do I miss

being the girl with the time

now I’m just nothing at all

a ghost with some memories

and naught but a rhyme
