The character I became in a play I didn\'t write has made his final curtain call
However no accolades shall be given, no rave reviews or awards
Instead I\'ll sweep the stage clean before making a hasty exit stage left
The lines written were hard to learn because they were full of truth about things that weren\'t real.
There was no congruence and i could not immerse myself in the role
The other actor who shared the stage was sometimes over dramatic and prone to mad improvisation.
It was hard to keep up and without any prompts to the well rehearsed lines, now scattered to the four corners of the theatre, meaning became meaningless
In the end all the hard work was for nought, the characterization became shallow and unbelievable, and the story ended in silence as the audience were left confused.
And so, the stage now clean and disassembled, the role I created laid to rest, I leave the theatre
With each step moving away I become once again myself and remember who I am
And I hope I will never play a part like that ever again
