Curtain Call (is an audience-led call for a performer or performers to return to the stage after a performance, typically in response to applause.) The curtains open. And there I am — on this stage. Out on display. Trying to obtain your love and Grace. Makeup to highlight my face. Girdle to shape my waist. Theater with seats filled. Mommy, Daddy, family, friends, you. Sitting front and center. Still trying to...

I flee from the reality of self In blind attempt at being self-less Confronting an enlightened self-interest. I have stepped into the shadows Allowed them the spotlights curse of cheers and boos of curtain calls.
