Am I entitled to an Oscar
For the act I put on everyday
Is harder work than any A Lister
Will ever endure
I am the comedian
Enticing laughter
While the demon inside
Finds joy in my cries
I am in theatre
Where everyday
I paint on my face
Masking deep sorrow
That crawls over my skin
I am in silent film
Where my actions speak louder
Than my muted words
I am an actress
And everyday
I perform
And life is my stage
