The curtain is pulled back.

Time to begin acting.

But no butterflies, no stage fright.

I am comfortable playing this part, for I do it often.

Acting is natural by now.

I have become my part, which is what only best actors can do.

I have no fans, no one realizes how good I am.

But that's how I like it- anonymous.

I can shake any feeling when I'm acting.

Nausea? Gone. Mental breakdown? They can't know. Crumbling, dying inside? Not a sign.

I won't allow my audience to know if anything is wrong,

since that's what actors do, right?

I love my job; acting is my passion now.

But the audience is my friends

and the stage never ends

and the curtain is the sheet of my bed.

So I pull back the curtain and play the part.
