The final curtain has gone down

With lots of people and the talk behind their frown


Now under the table, there comes a person

That person to the world is an 'Actor'

That person to me is 'I'


From "lights! Camera! Action!"

To whine all day with no distraction! 

And just as the story begins

.....not soo long

The schedule tickles. 


As the night wakes me up! 

The morning doesn't let me sleep! 

This cruelty is hard to sneak. 


Auditioning over a decade

Plastered on magazine

Those smiles,

These tears, 

Those screams,

Which I fear.

Is hard to hide. 


The mask that I wear 

Or the heart they make me wear

That's how I face the world. 


"Own your character"

Soaked in their secrets

"Escape in the roles"

Prune through their regrets

And when its a 'WRAP'

Go on with your lives.


Aaahh! 

This fame, this light

This stardom so bright

Eats you up whole or leaves you slight


Hey! Wait! It's not over yet! 

Let the guidelines slay!

Be careful of what you say! 

Don't talk about "Terrorism"

You are just not an individual

Don't talk about "Religion"

Unless you want to end up in a prison

Don't just "Hang out"

The rumors may click out


Not even when the time rescues!

The rivals are never at amuse! 


Being judged by hidden agendas

Not knowing the slightest of truth! 

Being framed or being doomed

The casting couch

Is not afraid to bloom.


Not everything is like every day

Not every day is a good day


We too have ups and downs

Friends like crowns

Time like bomb

And life like any other


While you lost something, 

I gained something. 

A treasure to you,

Might be a pebble to me. 

Life is still life! 

To cherish is the only escape from the dark night.
