The Curtain: Interior & Exterior
Location
No one knows about what goes on behind the curtain
The struggle to keep all the robes un-tangled
And every object nice and in its place
What it takes to make the show go on
The interior is a mess And filled with stress
My inner perfectionist Expectations, complications,
Filled with over exaggerations yelling and crying
Mood swings un-expectantly
The pressure building
Anger rising Happiness subsiding
Making my thoughts so un-deciding
The mysterious inequality between what should be said
And what needs to be said
The exterior I laugh I joke I cope
Tolerate people who try to shove things
Down my throat I dress to express concepts
I don’t have courage to confess
To provide something other than my misleading meekness
Tall and slim
My light shine is dim
With friends, they see a sliver of what's within
"I'm ok." is fine
Who likes those wine?
Is it a crime?
To hide things for the sake of someone else's time?
Not one style, not one culture, not one opinion, not one speech
But has anyone tried to breach
The wall of which are my secret
I keep Is someone from the audience a bit curious?
Has anyone caught my hint of mysterious?
No
They all seem to be pretty contempt
But (there is always a but)
At the end of every performance there is an applause
And the revealing of the crew
And you see what you have never knew
So I wait Wait for my Interior and exterior to be one
