Drama

The mask of life,

caked paint

and make-up

covering the truth.

None of us is real,

just characters in a play entitled

Drama.

Live out your dreams

only in your mind.

It never comes true.

It's all the same,

don't you think?

So you carry on,

screaming inside,

crying out for mama.

Standing on stage in

Drama.
