An actor.
Can be a big recovery factor.
Can write a new chapter.
Being on stage, a person can write a new page.
A new page in a life, that at times,
has felt so bad.
A life that at times, has felt so sad.
Being on stage, a person can wage a war.
This can also be done, by going through a door.
A life can be made fun.
The sun will come out and shine.
A disguise can hide the pain in the eyes.
Playing a role, can cover the soul.
Saying the lines, can give the person,
a great sense of prides.
It can hide.
Makeup and a grin can cover,
the pain of the skin.
as can the warmth of a lover.
A smile can cover,
Every mile of pain life has thrown.
Feeling alone can be cured by the drone of
the audiance.
An actor can gain a great sense of wealth.
Yet, it will do nothing to deal with the self.
Underneath, hiding like a mole,
Underneath, after we take off the peeling,
knelling and dealing,
crying and sighing
is the soul.
