spotlight heading towards the wooden floor, and the subject is you
ready with a performance the audience didn't know you could do
the show begins with you as the main character
every veteran actor would end up looking like an amateur
a combination genre of drama and comedy with an act so heavenly
set-design and costume department won't be a necessity
an impromptu or ad-lib collided with your charming confidence
the audience will feel empathic, which will result in your prominence
you've made sure that everyone heard and saw you as the victim
convinced the audience that what you're going through is grim
pulled an act as if a fellow character was about to steal the show
with this sold-out performance, you would be rolling in the dough
pilot episode, Oscar-worthy, a viral sensation—need I say more?
a-list celebrity, a one-of-a-kind act that swept the dirty floor
singing the soundtrack of your own show, you're a grammy-awardee
with a well-choreographed production, you made many faces agree
all the characteristics that you have, making boys fall for you
owning the crowd, a round of applause only for you
a video clip of a scene you star in is played over 10 million on youtube
audiences are hooked by solving the mystery like a Rubik's cube
a movie directed by Cathy Garcia-Molina is where your acting belongs
such charisma, looks, and style stand out and are mentioned in songs
paparazzi are following and only listening to your made-up rumors
idolized by many, it's mostly feeding the minds of the boomers
one exhibition is all you need, and you'd tear apart the stage
this show of yours will remain even once the world sees a new age
it left Aunt Marites shocked, with a gasp that left her mouth wide open
the audience couldn't keep up while their words were left unspoken
the story ended on a cliffhanger, making the people want for more
as you often leave people in awe, you will always be adored.
