catastrophe

by @saddlebrowndino

Choking off people’s assumptions, I’m not like the enigma. I may look complicated; Yet I’m just a small, arduous spec of the universe. I may give catechisms; Bet it’s painless to break, if you feel. I might have a perplexing persona; But honey, that’s the shadow of your ego. I was drowning, in the basin of lies called fairy tales. And I was drunk, in the virtual reality you made. I let you choke me, with the wine so called love. I’m awake; After weeks of being high of your lies, After months of being high of your manipulating acts, Bet that’s why you’re making a great actor. The masks finally ripped of the performer; The lies, the bitter truth, Leaving the ego, caught in the act. Turns out that I can’t differentiate between reality and stage-play. I can’t find the difference between when you truly do something, Or when you’re doing your job on the stage. I have myself questioning about things, Do actors have feelings? Do actors always manipulate their acts? I finally read the script; The deceptive tears, the dishonest sweet words, And how I’m just a puppet to your puppetry. Then I realised a thing. I was not a conundrum. I was a slave to your ego, In your stage-play, And you did great on your show.
