Far Too Dramatic
Distorted reality
Puppets at play
Masks self made
No smiles on display
Contorted features
Soul ill at ease
Act out the scenes
Or be quiet please
Shroud all emotion
Embody character cast
Rehearse til it's perfect
This chance is your last
Close down the theatre
Cancel the show
Burn all the scripts
Give improv a go
I'm more about ad-lib
Dislike acting on cue
Like to riff on a theme
Wish to make my debut
It's a tough crowd
Within these 4 walls
No rapport reported
Zero encore calls
Back in my box
Puppets have no rights
I was sadly mistaken
My name won't be in lights
I fear dusty demise
As I hide for too long
My face unrecognisable
Stuck on melancholy song
Where is the starlet
Who didn't need a stage
Sat being silent
In an unlocked cage
