I am the greatest actor this world has ever seen Before words were possible, my eyes lied to you You can look in them and try and make sense of a feeling But no feeling exist there
The outside is serene Yet the innermost part is a tumultuous storm You never see me chocking Sinking lower and lower As my heart is ravenously clenched in fear
I read my lines well Everything I say is rehearsed Practiced in a mirror as I gaze at my reflection I realize how realistic the acting is It could convince anyone without strain Yet it canβt seem to convince me
Because I am the ultimate critic Every motion, every breath is speculated The performance must be impeccable It must leave the audience applauding Because when the light go down it all changes The shell cracks and the naked skin is exposed And this can never be seen For if the magic of the theater is demolished The realities of life become too great And the magic will never again be realized
So I choose to take on this role Perfect it everyday Delve deeper and deeper into the character And loose myself more and more along the way
