For an Actress
|
You want more than love You want the world to bow at your feet, To bow in admiration As you pass from success to success. You want all to love and envy you As a queen who loves her subjects Gains a respected love in return. Expectations are a challenge A challenge to prove your superiority To yourself and to the “expectors” A challenge to be the best. Without people to surround you You would be alone and “Best” has no meaning. You also live in another world Where your mind craves to please all To be liked, to be accepted, The world of people. |
The world of people, Of love, of mistakes, Often seems more real than The superior but cold world Of self and social expectations. So you extend your hand To help those who need help, To say “I am one of you” “Let me share your troubles” And the fires keep burning unseen. Flames of guilt stab your soul And blacken your mind. Guilt from fear that society Will disavow your purity. Guilt that stems from self-doubt Of your true “otherness of superiority” Torment tears at you mind. What do I really want? Who am I? Why can’t I be completely happy? And please everybody at the same time? Don’t be afraid to ask for help |
