Life's Play

Contributed by essentially9 on Thursday, 8th April 2004 @ 09:39:49 PM in AEST
Topic: EmotionalPoetry



Life's Play

Nothing matters in this life
Its all pointless in fact
Nothing to live for
Nothing to die for
Its just a thing to be
And acting is everything

Death isn't anything
But the end of the play
The birth is the exposition
Of the entire thing
And we must act as we please
Because every line
Is heard above
Because every stage direction
Is seen by everyone

The limelight shines on thee
And you are the best actor
In life and time
And you will die remembered
As being nothing more
Than the actor on stage

As the curtain falls
You see your life's downfall
You must give it all
To live at all
Or fade till your downfall
