I think my life needs a rewrite

I think my life needs a rewrite

A Poem by Philip Gaber

I sigh a lot.
Have you noticed?
I feel the tears
behind the curtains of my eyes
waiting in the wings,
waiting for their cue,
waiting for the actors to
deliver their lines,
waiting for the audience's reaction,
the critic's reviews,
hoping that the show
won't close
after toniight's performance.
