The Actress
by Robbi SkaeraBury your face in your hands, act upset, and it hurts less
In the waiting room, you'll listen if a blind man says
"You should not look into the sun"; you would not look.
But the window's open, you can almost see the moon.
Heed his words, and mourn the thing he lost that no-one took.
You should not look into the sun. You should not look.
Bury yourself in your books, act empowered, play the part.
All the world's a stage, but the play poorly cast.
You should not look into the sun, you should not look.
Point your talent inward; be your own biggest fan.
The audience lip-synch to your monologue.
You should not look into the sun. You should not look. 09/28/2009 Author's Note: Obvious Oscar Wilde quote S3L2. Much more effective with the music I wrote.
Retitled, following apocalypse.

and they should weld perfectly well to the music you had in mind. |

Put the music in your Journal mate and let us know in that it's there in the Gen Forum. Dan and I are not averse to leaving the odd song in our Journals. |
