The world's greatest actress
That's what I am
I hide the fact I'm in distress
I still have so many fans
Even though no one knows I'm acting
I'm so good at distracting
Everyone from everything
I've hidden everything about me that's depressing
I've even convinced myself
I'm not actually depressed
I'll never ask for help
No matter how stressed I get
Because I'm that convinced
That the show must go on
So I'll just keep pretending to be something that I'm not
I didn't ask for fame
It found me this way
And as I turn around
I face the crowd
I take a bow
I’m always wearing the mask
I wear it like a crown
Don't know how much longer this will last
But it's too late to turn back
Because everywhere is a stage
Like a never ending movie or play
The plot thickens as each scene plays out
I have no doubt
That this movie will never end
I'm just following the script made in my head
The world's greatest actress
I am the main cast
My fans grow day by day
The whole world is now my stage
If this life of mine is a book, I'm just waiting for the last page
But i know it won't come till I die
Because the contract that I signed
Says the show won't stop till I'm gone
By now I've taken a new form
So what if I'm a fraud?
I'll be acting until I can't act anymore

A read about how we all wear masks but some more than others. A good metaphor about acting what we are not. Lovely
Thank you! Thank you! I'll be here all night!
great portrayal of the internal emptiness of someone who has everything........a realistic and enjoyable story
Thanks!!!
A write about the film we all have a part in, life. Some are natural and can be themselves others have to put on a mask and perform their whole life, nicely expressed
Thank you!!
