Lights, Camera I'm almost ready, to show this world what I can do. Props set, music fills the stage, Lights so bright I can't see straight. Dark black liner covers up my eyes, and big pink blush spreads over my cheeks. “You must appear attractive, You must be seen.” Said every actress that had a dream. Script after Script running through my head One night, All I have. ***** it up and i'm Dead Take it in, a big deep breath, This is my chance, My time to shine! To show them its bad to leave me behind! I want it to last forever but it cannot stay. Fame sort of leaves you that way Fame is a firework beautiful lights shimmers then drips down the sky. For a few seconds this There is beauty in your mind. I see myself in the mirror, All powdered and fresh No one will ever see behind this mask. I can't stand to look at you! You disgust me with all your mistakes! But tonight isn't about you. You selfish witch! Its about who I am portraying. The person I am playing. For I am an actress an actress I am I Become other people. Forget about my past I am a new person, I am any person Any person… But me

Anyone but me
Lights, Camera I'm almost ready, to show this world what I can do. Props set, music fills the stage, Lights so bright I can't see straight.

Script after Script running through my head One night, All I have. ***** it up and i'm Dead Take it in, a big deep breath, This is my chance, My time to shine!
