On With the Show

On With the Show

A Poem by RJM
"

Maybe this is how it feels to be under the spotlight

"
On With The Show

Wipe the tears off
from your painted face

Put on your plastered
smile for all to see

Hide the sorrow
within your soul

With, pills and syringes
if you must just don't 
let them see you cry

Turn around from 
your lonely life
and face the 
adoring crowds

Forget your ruined dreams
and broken heart 

Forget yourself and 
Face the spotlight

For the show
must go on

wow. i think you captured how A LOT of famous people feel. they cant let the world see whats really going on with them because the whole world will find out. so they put on a fake show and try to use other things (such a drugs) to help them escape when really it just makes things worse. great job.

Wow, this is just... amazing. I can definitely relate to this. I love the concept, the idea, the flow, the imagery. One of my favorite pieces that you have done so far.

You're very right, we have to face trials and tribulation! however downtrodden we have to endure the pain of failure or anything that goes beyond what we like in life....The lesson is overwhelming in our spirit, we have to learn lesson from the past, enjoy the present and look forward for the future!
This is great work
I got to learn a lot from you.
