Behind the curtain
I’m on a stage and no one is in the crowd.
And on that stage I am a ugly, I am a pretty, I am ME.
I hear footsteps approach and I run behind that curtain.
But Why?
Am I ashamed? Am I scared?
Why?
More footsteps approach and soon it sounds like a stampede.
I sit day and night behind that curtain waiting for them to leave.
But they don’t.
They won't.
I hear laughter, I hear crying, and I hear everyone except for me.
I want to join but I can’t.
I can’t remember who I am only who I wanted to be.
