The Melody
Location
I let the world see my stage-hand once.
I'm dancing across the stage
everyone loves me.
I'm "beautiful".
I'm "amazing".
I spend all my time
living behind this curtain.
Strings attached to my facade
giving them ideal over real.
I'm dancing across the stage
everyone loves me.
But then my strings break.
The curtains
everything
comes crashing down.
The real me was revealed.
The audience in disbelief.
My facade still on stage
trying to fix this mess.
She dances.
She sings.
But not a single person hears her melody.
It's my lips they see moving
it's my body dancing now
and that's all they care about.
I hear her applause
as my facade leaves me there.
Through the tears
I can see everyone leaving me.
I let the world see my stage-hand
once.
