'Just another play'
Just another day, of hoping all this pain would go away.
I pray, not to the gods way above but to the people I swore to love.
I'm on a stage, a lone actress.
I hide behind the many faces, to hide all of my disgraces.
Everyday feels the same,
Prisoned in the body that once was mine.Everyone asks me if I'm 'okay'.
What do I say?Do I say that this pain is too great to handle?
That my body is chained to this foam ample?
No!
I say I'm 'fine'...
'You're welcome to stay'Welcome to my one-act play.
Limited time only.
