oops

nothing's real
it's all pretend
i get persuaded
by the characters,
the plots.
i climb up on the stage
with the rest of the cast.
i assume a part
i live and breathe it.
and when the curtain falls,
while i'm still bowing,
it all flickers in an instant,
like a flame.
the truth is revealed.
i see the set for what it is
and i see the characters become
miserable little creatures
retreating to their lowly lives.
i'm left alone
on an empty stage
breathing my betrayal
holding back the tears of disappointment
and i begin to applaude
my own performance
and the impeccable performances
of all those who fooled me
again!

I like it. I've felt the same many times. Keep them coming.
