Understanding my role

For my friend. 

So wasted, the stage awaited. 

Lies written, bad actors forgiven.

Understudied the best. Got played like all the rest. 

IS THIS TRU-MAN?

AM I NOT HU-MAN?

Still underated, no more waiting breath abaited.

Impressed by nothing less, it's not my ego you need caress.

This performance isn't fake, nor convoluted by heartache.

Paranoid opinions acknowledged, blood ties demolished.

So stands the unfinished set. Ready to play this game; life's bet.
