Acting Out
Folder:
Learning from the Past I am center stage,
acting out a part
that was never me.
And now you’ve
typecasted me.
I’ve been labeled
with your skewed
depiction of me.
The lights are blinding;
The stares are binding.
You’re watching me
to see if I will
fumble up my lines
or get out of character.
Can I ever play a role
that’s more fitting
my true persona?
Or will I have to live
with this stereotype
the rest of my life?
I suppose it is up to me
to enter the spotlight
and show you the real me.
this reminds me of my one of my fav poems:
''I have forged me in sevenfold heats
Ashield from foes and lovers,
And no one knows the heart that beats
Beneath the shield that covers.''
Mary Elizabeth Coleridge
I think we all feel this way and play parts, cause noone really wnats to know who you really are, they are too afraid you are better than them, or nothign special, people would rather believe a lie than a boring or amazing truth. its sad
lol funny enough, my friends on postpeoms who have never met me, know me better than alot of the poeple in my life, because they read my soul daily.
again I am glad I stumbled onto your site, I like the honesty in your work!
much love
