YOU WONDER QUIETLY
When the imagination
Takes over the truth
You find yourself in
A balancing act
Make up will
Overcome stage fright
The applause you hear
Will be for you and
Shared gallantly
With your fellow thespians
The world is waiting
Wondering what took so long
Adrenalized euphoria takes hold
You are the talk of the town
Fly you to the moon and
Let you play among the stars
Enlighten them and return
Tickertape parades in open cars
Bodyguards and henchmen
Interviews with the press
Wardrobe executives
Now the family is in the way
What should you do with relatives?
Dreamland is fun
Too bad it’s not real, but
Reality can be cold and harsh
Having little or no appeal
Everything encountered
Will have ups and downs
From political leaders to
The circus clowns
Find peace and joy in what you do
The safest way to go
Hopes and dreams disappear
You wonder quietly, why the fear
