Hello there guys, how are you doing?
Sorry if this thread is kind of silly, but I really need to get this right:

I'm doing a short film, or something like that, and, for those of you who doesn't know me, english isn't my primary language, and sometimes it gets a little messy, so...
I have this short text that I wrote, and I want you to tell me if you see any gramatical error.
Again, sorry for bothering you but I already recorded it and put in place with the video I filmed.

I'm particulary afraid with two lines, "and the way of feel, like nothing in the world" and "Feeling alive, waking me up in the middle of the night on purpose..."

The complete text is the next one:

This is the present and my days to come.
This is goodbye to a piece of me that was nothing but dreamless.
I am dreaming now and I can change the rules,
the sky flashes and the future becomes something else.
The lights are nothing but hope and colour.

I want ALL the flickering rest of dusty dreams, the emotions,
and the way of feel, like nothing in the world.

This is what I am and what I see. No one can take that away from me.
Feeling alive, waking me up in the middle of the night on purpose...

Knowing every detail, seeing everyone resting, everyone in silence, and everything in control.

Every single drop of water is like... tears, of a piano, deep down on a street.
And that's amazing and beautiful. It's like a camera in your head,
showing images to your brain and mouth,
expressing things that words can't describe.

This is me in the clouds, trying to understand.
Then the orange came out of the blue,
my head exploded, and shrank totally with that.

This, are relentless memories from my mind.
And this is a space between my eyes.

And this is the night again,
to dream again, to feel again, expecting to do something extraordinary.
Go out and cry and shout and speak, but do it now.
You really, need to do it now.

I hope you answer me.
Thanks in advance.
 
In this context,

"and the way of feel, like nothing in the world"

...would make more sense as 'and the feeling, like nothing else in the world' or 'and it feels like nothing else in the world'

...and...

"Feeling alive, waking me up in the middle of the night on purpose..."

Is actually OK as it it. A little bit messy, but makes sense. I think I would remove the 'on purpose' bit, it reads better (to me).

Hope this helps!
 
Thank you so much Danny, really 👍

The thing about this text in particular is that I already recorded it.
The video is done, and I was a little afraid about having a grammatical error.
I've been studying and learning the language for years, I love it, but sometimes, when I write, I got this moments of doubting.

About the "sense" of the way of feel..., I know it's messy, that was kind of the idea.
Do you think that the text itself has an error?
Again, thank you so much for helping me.
 
It doesn't seem like there's any particular errors, in my opinion. There are some words I would've omitted, but that's not so important, as it's a very good text.

You sure have talent 👍.
 
I was going to provide some help, but it seemed like everyone got to it before me and I really can't think of anything else to fix.

But I do want to say you are really talented and your English is much better than some native-English speaking people on this site.
 
Thank you so much for the words CallmeDan 👍
It's really great to hear that! :)
As I said, I will upload the video so you can see it. I hope you like it.
