The Act

My heart pounds fast

As danger comes near

I can feel it…

It’s breath

My eyes they shut

Acting as it everything

Is fine

Everything is alright

I feel it’s touch

Sliding down my spin

I feel its nails

Digging into my skin

It’s all, alright

Everything is fine

I try to force a smile

Upon my face

I try to hide the tears

That sting my eyes

I try to go on

Acting as if I’m fine

Cause I am…

The nails they go in

Deeper

Making me feel so dizzy

So much weaker

My painted smile

Slowly fades

My body slowly falls

The act is over…

The curtains fall
