behind the curtain

With a shining smile

and erupting laughter,

the crowd's engulfed

in my one-liners and easy joy.

We're singing

and swaying,

and I'm participating.

 

I play along throughout the day.

 

My award-winning role,

I am

the actress.

 

So take a seat in front of my stage,

and prepare your hands for a burst of applause

 

as I fall into fiction.

 

I will memorize these lines,

I will become my character,

I will forget the reality of

happily never after.

 

The end.
