The performance

Whose life are you living?

The curtains rise up
You start your act
Your lines delivered
With confidence, you enchant
The audience is wrapped up,
Captivated, entranced

But, wait! Have you stopped to ask
Who is writing the script?
Who is directing the cast?
And how comes you are
Part of an act
In which you’ve had
No say, no choice, no freedom
To write?…
