Just a show
For entertainment purposes only
An act, a play
Simply for the amusement of the audience
The actress has her part
She plays it well
Whats not seen, in between acts
The reality of it all
Whats not seen, in between acts
The silent tears that stream
Whats not seen, in between acts
The anger and frustration faced day to day
Audience claps , begs for more
Bows taken, many curtain calls
Whats not seen, when the final curtain falls
Whats not seen, when the lights are turned off for the night
Whats not seen, when the stage door closes with a loud and lonely bang
The actress walking slowly down the darkened alley, alone with the echoes of the audience in her ears
The actress walking slowly down the darkened alley, alone with her silent tears

That was good...we never know what goes on with our favorite stars..

the lonely plight of one who gives so much of her self and never gets what she needs in return.....sad

nice write
