She wears a mask to appear content
Ever the actress performances astound
She can’t show her true self
She is terrified of what they Will say
Her audience made of tigers and sharks
Their teeth sharp and claws like a razor
On the tightrope of shame and sanity
And so she dances before them
This existence a prison but the unknown is worse
Play the devil you know or risk a worse fate
One more round of thunderous applause and now she takes a bow
The stage imaginary and the audience exists only in her mind
