i went searching
for that part
of me,
that seems
to have gone
missing,
and wondered
where all
the other lost
identities go?
and so i
followed the few
arrows, placed
for those like me,
and found
myself in a theater
with many other
pairs of
hollow, blank eyes
as the credits
began to roll,
we all looked ahead
“ now playing:
my life falling
to pieces ”

I saw a quote on tumblr, "Now playing: My Life Falling to Pieces," and thought how we could watch full documentaries highlighting the times in our lives when things have gone wrong.
