Paper Cut Eyes

The actress

Hey guys! I'd just like to dedicate this poem to Therese for all her support and keeping me sane when I seem to reach the brink of insanity. *Thank you Therese*

The actress

Brilliant smile painted on,

curtains closing, slowly gone

is the smile she held so long.

Tears streaming down her face.

Behind the scenes

sadness will embrace

Off with the mask,

this is her face.

Down on the floor

she may seem to be nothing more,

but strong is her hand

and soft is her heart

The girl behind the curtains

was worth more,

than the stage or the fame

from the start.
