Shakespeare once said all the worlds a stage and
all its men and women merely players
What director cast me as an extra?
So maybe I don’t have the looks,
And hey-sometimes I forget my lines
But no one can have the script of life memorized
I can be your leading lady
You’ll find I’m an amazing actress,
After all, I’ve been playing a part all my life
And so I may have gotten a few bad reviews
Who hasn’t?
Critics are merely performers on paper
Let me be your leading lady
I’ll make this audience laugh and cry
Like I have done a million times before
Just let me get center stage
Spot light on me
I will be your leading lady
Until then I’ll be waiting in the wings
Practicing my one line
Ready for my seconds on stage
And bowing from the last line of actors,
As the velvet curtains swing to the close
Of another performance with me in the back

Throw your roses, applaud all you want,

One day I’ll get the standing ovation

I know this topic is quite cliche, but a very persuasive person talked me into posting it...

After Love comes Pain, then Love, Then Pain, then Love, then Pain..... does anyone else see a pattern here? Oh well, can't say it's not worth it.
