𝘌𝘯𝘫𝘰𝘺!!


And so it begins

Me on this stage

Poised and in position

Waiting for the curtains to open

I am set to dance out this story

Theres nothing in it for me

It's your moment of glory

The curtains fall

My face is plastered with a plastic smile

The best mask

You can't tell the difference

And I am fully up to the task



I prance around

Spinning, swinging, swirling

Moving with all the strength I could muster

My bones begin to crack

Under the weight of expectation

But no matter the pain

I'll make sure to not dance in vain

On this stage you built

Im fine playing the fool

While every inch of me shatters

I don't mind being the tool



Crack, crack, crack

It becomes harder to perform

My bones are but splinters

My skin, torn

This pain is nothing

So I change my mask

A grin and a laugh

Even while this place burns

And blood paints my dress

I will still be poised on my toes

I choose to be the villain

in everyone's shows




The performance is over

I take my final bow

Not a single clap

No one applauds

While the curtains are closing

I can't even stand

I wish to pierce my heart

But I have to perform tomorrow

All of this again, from the start
