You can't separate
the actor from the character
they're not mutually exclusive
but brutally intrusive.
We put a little bit of ourselves
into the roles that we act
extracts of our souls
dripping out
slowly bleeding our hearts dry
from acting out our parts
Pouring everything
into faux characters
to engage with our rage
while onstage
unknowingly
constructing our own cage
We think no-one can see
the lies we tell
when we wear our masks
but our eyes betray us
with irises on fire
arises our desire
from the words we yell
Burning eyes behind stone masks
that shows them our hell

Just something I've noticed, Tell me what you think!
