Poem -
Showtime!
Mirror, mirror
Who am Iย
Liar liar
Social pariah
Stage showย
But all alone
Powdered faceย
Self medicateย
It must go on
It's Showtime!ย
I can't go on
I'm too frail
I take pills
To hide the pain
Can you see
Me now
Through my eyes
Can you see
My criesย
It must go on
It's Showtime!ย
A stage whisperย
My heartย
Beats louderย
A self harmerย
My arms
Show tortureย
Mirror, mirrorย
Look at me now
Broken and down
It must go on
It's Showtime!ย
Five minutes
And you're on
No reflectionย
I'm now gone
Another pill
Another drink
This business
Is out to kill me
But I'm told...
It must go on!ย
It's Showtime!ย

Life is but a stage. I really love this site, I can change my character whenever I choose. Brilliant piece.
??thanks very much Gerard! ?ย
Excellent poem! I studied drama at uni until I had an epiphany and realised I really hate having to walk on stage. Our year one performance our lecturer suggested cocaine.
Really! And that's a lecturer suggesting that, a person you look for guidance and support! How the other world has secrets in the closets eh?! Thanks very much Nigel your support is appreciated ?ย
