curtains drawn , i was born

the audience on the edge of their seats

applause applause a thunderous roar

taught to read

to read a script

all lines are important 

one must never skip

act 1 , act 2, act 3

the curtains never recede

bravo 

their calls echo

a smile a bow 

and on to the next

personal desires, one must always suppress

who wouldn't want the spotlight light?

isn't your world alright ?

one script to the next

ones self also suppressed 

until one day

you wake up and say

who am i?

tight lipped

without your script

with out your mask to hide

striped bare 

left to dry

who am i?

when all is said and done

when the crowd has already been won

when the act ends

you find you have no friends

...

...

except the ones in your head
