The curtain rises, the lights come up,
It's time for me to be on!
Charming the crowds, entertaining
Until everyone has gone.
Teasing, pleasing, encouraging,
Sometimes tough as nails.
Playing a role you've come to know,
The winner that never fails.
With doubts and hurts never expressed,
Weakness never admitted.
Ever afraid of being betrayed
Inadequately witted.
Am I here at all anymore,
When I never go offstage?
Morning comes, the curtain rises,
The lights come up in the cage.

#household. Cigarette smoke in the air. Runs fingers thru his tousled hair. At blank page he'll sit and stare. The poets outfit he will wear. A tortured soul in so much pain.
#household Flashlight, Flashlight, so incredibly bright. Save me, save me, save me tonight. Banish the dark shadows from my dreams Mute the sounds, you canβt hear my screams.
