As the day starts It’s like turning on a series The start The conflict The ending The titles You’re just a statistic In this episode You blink But not too much Saying “Peas and carrots” Familiar scenery You want to be the star But you’re in the background Somewhere behind the actors You open bottles You swallow them Dreaming Thriving Why not me? Sweet dreams Numbed right away Now you’re on The switch is clicked You speak like the man Act like the star You’re the one now The star of this ****** show Is this what you wanted? Now get it Play pretend Because it says “Fake it till you make it” You believe it This is you now Episode over

Yes, it makes you the “star” — but never for long.
