Poem
This is their moment Place on your makeup and let us begin Cast the shadows of deceit with a grin Curtain calls and the show begins The world is their stage, action consumes. Warm hugs and I love you’s Serene and pristine, O, look how they are giving their all to you. We are one they proudly say but your hand is the one bent like clay at the expense of putting on this charade. You comforted them for their loss Though their arms were folded when you lost your heart I did my all, and I've given my best I made them who they are, o how I'm blessed How perfect how right how just These lines read with sureness and might Bravo Bravo how deep shall this go Your fate lurks in the darkest corners There you will find your: Trauma responses Fight or flight Trust issues that sing aloud Worthless, characters, Keep your makeup up on The show is not done. The script is read, how dramatic indeed Her part is played with vigor and feist. With the roll of a dice, all are against her but the sword welded came from her Nameless game, Adjectives should do here let me spell it out for you Weak, Smug, pathetic, Delusional you're no longer you, but what they think of you This house is their stage, let the act begin A wonderful family they say. as they step over the sharp edges of bloodied mirrors that scatter on the inside of our feeble bodies. That mercilessly cut at our heels, we are forever nails against chalkboards that go unnoticed We are the thousand shallow graves that were dug without names O how we give and give and they take and take Justify, manipulate, and cast the blame. You've taken their hits, Felt their pain, comforted their sorrows but what have you gained Fake appreciations, Blind assumptions Degraded and in pain Serpents venom spat back at you. If hate were a color this world would not be blue But only if they knew that dancing among the rain, to hide our tears The red was never from allergies Curtains go down applaud, smile, Encore Encore The Oscar for best pretender goes to... YOU
