Real Life Drama

There on the stage

where life begins to take shape

An illusion occurs in one’s mind

as actors prepare their moments

An audience

A spectator

A participant

An attitude

all playing a role

all seeking a connection

directed by notions and ideals

a concrete fixture

is given abstractions to rely upon

An artist’s vision

quite different

than public reaction.

~

What happens off stage

when the lights go down

and reality is waiting

without an audience

no notions to react to

Simply existing

How does illusion work

in the eyes of society

when the curtain falls

and you’re surrounded by alone.

~

In a moment of personal vulnerability

One might recognize their own clarity.
