Audience

It's boring to live
without someone noticing
the growth, the journey,
the process of living.

Artists chase applause.
They want to be seen—
people cheering, raising self-esteem.

'Cause it matters whether they see,
appreciate you.
You wanna make them go crazy
because of you.

It's a special feeling to be known,
everyone talking about you—that sweet tone.

Some cry to gain,
some work hard and shine.
Spotlight matters;
empty rooms shatter.

It's the audience,
the impetus, the fire
that ignites the light
in everyone's life.
