Leading Lady

You don't know me Who I am You don't want to You never have But when I tell you this You get mad So you'd have me just pretend? Smile and nod? To the bitter end? So as not to break your spell, I'm supposed to live in Hell? Can't have me shattering your illusion The real me must be quite an intrusion Upon your fragile ego and self delusion But I'm really very tired now I just need a break My smile is starting to falter My hands are starting to shake If I could just be me for one moment Or maybe just for  two I promise to get right back at it And do my best for you My best impression of myself Is there anyone else? Oh and while I have you here Can you please go over Some of my lines with me, my Dear? Perhaps this isn't the right role for me That costume's not even my size And well, you see I don't remember auditioning For a part in this production And what's this movie even about Chaos and destruction? I don't do horror flicks Maybe I forgot to mention I really just can't handle All of the suspense and tension My therapist told me They're two of my biggest triggers I told her the best things in life always are So that just ******* figures Anyways this is the real me But hey, I'm sorry I'm getting off track How do I put this nicely? Here, take your stupid ******* mask back             (BOW/CURTSY, FINGER, EXIT)
