I know it’s cliché
To say “All the world’s a stage”
But truth lies here

To perform our parts
Versatility, adaptation
Assimilation

Roles presented as they may
To be hero or villain
Innocent or conniving
How much one chooses to reveal
To their audience

What secrets will stay hidden
Until a fight to the death

All in all
"All the world's a stage"
My own perceptions of the meaning of this famous line from As You Like It by William Shakespeare
