Breaking Character on The Main Stage

Apologies all for the short delay,

The finale will happen soon.

This abnormality is unacceptable

And will be dealt with immediately.

I wish only you will not hold in contempt

The occurrences you have witnessed.

Forgive us please,

I solemnly hope

The end will inspire affection. 

 

I plead for bravery to lie

To life and love and the happiness

And tell me I have the guts.

Wise words have begged; "ignore such thoughts,"

But I want not to try to battle.

I am a pacifist, I do not wish

To fight with my brain

Again and again.

 

Siphoning life from the living

In the veil of extraversion.

I want to speak to those who are closed

To the words of the same selfish stories.

Expect no more for quite some time

I am leaving here again.


I apologise now, to the audience,

Recently you've seen too much.

It detracts from the theatrical integrity

And will, again, happen no more.

I find shame in the flaws that you experience

And feel guilty saying your name. 

It will hurt, but think nothing of it

I do not think much at all. 

With the inevitable close of the short and sweet,

One rose will stand by my feet. Bow and leave,

Content with your show. 

Modesty essential to your last final taunt

And at once, stage right, Exeunt.
