Always Acting Poem by Anna Pine

Always Acting



trying to blend in
putting on a show
trying to act like me

its just a façade
i'm not me
i'm not like this

i'll never get to take a final bow
i'll never get my curtain call

i wish i could duck out and let my understudy shine
but life isn't like that

i can never stop being who they want me to be

always acting
