And I don't know why
But over and over
I've watched this show
Yet over and over
I never get tired of it
I know the jokes
I know when they're coming
But that doesn't stop me
From loving every minute
And call me crazy
But I almost wish
I could be like that
Acting
Acting like I'm so close
To everyone around
Acting like I always know
Exactly what to say
Acting like the bad
Gets better before the end
Of a thirty minute show
And I really want you
To see that I
Am thinking
About how
If I
Could only
Act
Like them
I could act
Like we were more
Than what we are
And I could act
That when I've had a bad day
I don't need a hug
To tell me it's okay
But I can't promise that to myself
Because I think I can act
I've always wanted to act
I want to be an actress
I want people
To remember my name
I want to be
That actress
That little girls
And even boys
Everywhere
See
And they want to be
Just
Like
Me
But I know
That I can't brush everything aside
To make room for a mirage
That everyone sees
But me
Inside
I know
That's all I am
When I act
A mirage
That I can't see
But there is still
That spark
That burns through the night
That tells me to act
To smile
And laugh
Like everything is peachy
So I wave
I smile
I grin a lot
And beg myself to act
And even though
I want to know
If I can make it or not
I'll never
No never
Let my dream rot
And
I'll never
No never
Act like everything
Is A-okay
Because it's not
Sometimes
And I'm rambling
I just want to tell you
At this hour of night
You were on my mind
And I missed you
So when the couple onscreen
Made up
And kissed
And hugged
And cheered
I just wished that was us
And in my rambling mind
I acted like
It really was us
Because that's how much
I want you
Even more
Than I want
To care for myself
Because I'm secondary
Sedentary
Sidelined
...
Sad
A sad girl
Who looks at a screen
And dreams of tomorrow
Hoping I can be
And we can be
And I won't need
To
Act
Anymore
