Hi Wavey, welcome to the site. Interesting 'poem' you've got here. Firstly it looks and reads like prose, so forgive me for giving it line breaks so that i can critique it more easily.
We are all vessels of broken memories,
gyrating in a motion picture,
surrounded by people playing as extras
keeping us apart from the greatest secret of all.
Now is only a dream
and when you look back,
you'll question if those moments ever existed
or you'll forget them completely
which means they never happened.
cheers

oops perhaps i shouldn't have critiqued this now i noticed you only done one critique and it probably doesn't count as a critique. What the hell, it's Friday. You've got one for free. But in the future give feedback it's fun... honest

The idea and sentiment is sound enough. Without adding anything (so it's still your poem) you could edit it like so.
gyrating in a motion picture, - 'gyrating' ? is this the right word?
surrounded by people playing as extras in this movie we call reality not needed
in order to keep us apart from the greatest secret of all... could be reduced to 'keeping us from the greatest secret'
The moment you're living in
Now is only a dream because years from now,
and when you look back,
you'll question if those moments ever existed
or you'll forget about them completely
which means that it they never happened. - this last bit seems awkwardly written
