Act the Part

I am an actor on this stage of life. My role is factored into all the scenes Beginning with an innocent delight. My birth and babbling lines by any means Directed all attention to this part. A ham at birth and cute, I was a star. The photographs and modeling apart From some occasional fluffing thus far I acted many roles that came my way. Until my public image lost its lure I found myself without a scene to play Except the one where life shown me the door A role I never played in my career An empty lonely man, alone in tears.

Great write. This really sounds like an actors life style. I hear it's a very hard life with a lot of pressure. Good capture! Nate
