The Main Character

Movies misguided me. The heroes are all known and loved by the citizens, yet here I am without anyone acknowledging I exist. I walk down the streets not making a difference to the people around me. I get bumped into often as people don’t notice or care about the physical space I occupy. I don’t get the limitless wardrobes of the protagonists. I don’t have villains chasing me at least, no one to cause trouble. I have to introduce myself when I enter a room, unlike my favourite characters growing up.

I keep my head down and the script passes me by, maybe that’s my problem. I need to strut through town with my head held high as the protagonists I love do. I need to make my life more like my own movie.
