The Actor

I smile and I talk,
I smile and I walk.
Look !What do you see?
A puppet,It isn't me.

See how clever he gets,
Our loose stringed marionette.
Acting out his play.
His public false display.

In the depth of the night.
When i pray for the light.
As my sins come grinding home.
I become myself,broken and alone
