The Actress
Written by: FireMistress
I am an actress in many ways,
I become the character that I must play,
No matter what emotions the real me feels,
I must play what others want to see.
I carry a thousand different kind of masks,
All used instantly if asked,
No matter how painful it may be,
I must make others believe.
Like a clown I must hide,
The sorrowful tears that dwells inside,
And keep smiling to the world,
As if my feelings didn't matter at all.
How long will this go on?
Before my soul begins to die?
Before my elaborated disguises,
Begins to wear me down?
And for how long will they believe,
In this infidelity?
How much more can I pretend to laugh,
Before it turns into a sorrowful cry?
I do not know the answers,
But one thing is for sure,
Every lie that I have built,
Will soon stumble upon me.
