Life

This live stage show requires born actors There can be no rehearsals No extra “takes” Mistakes cannot be corrected It’s all part of the act Some play the leading roles Some just sit in a dark corner Afraid to act, afraid to live Some create happiness and laughter Some sorrow and tears Old actors exit New ones enter The show goes on regardless Some can see beyond the stage Some cannot The Audience Watches…. (I wrote this when I was 17)
