Behind the Mask

Lights.
camera.
Action.
I'm the star of the show,
memeorized scripted lines as I play the lead role.
Everyone is watching on the edge of their seats, 
Will I win their approval or hang my head in defeat.
Lights.
Camera.
Action.
Always entertaing the audience.
Spotlights always on me,
Puppet on a string who craves to be free.
Lights.
Camera.
Action.
As the curtain finally closes,
Roses at my feet,
The mask slips  off and i can finally breath.
