Maybe I should pause the movie
my mind can't help but
P L A Y and P L A Y and P L A Y
Projections of past and preconceived future
M O M E N T S
It only feels natural to me
U N T I L...
I realize you were reading from
a
S C R I P T
I didn't realize I was part of
the
A U D I E N C E
Until you bowed and the once before intimate dark space
was now a cold room filled with bright white lights
and you were gone without
a
T R A C E
Maybe a little bitter...I was...for silencing myself
My chest still catching its
B R E A T H
Above all else...
I keep my grace
I save my face
I leave with dignity
All to make you believe
none of it hurt me...
But all you see is...
my b e a u t i f u l p e r f o r m a n c e
And I'm only left with
your b e a u t i f u l p e r f o r m a n c e
No standing ovation
No award
Just a
M O M E N T.
