Poem 5 - Final Act

And when the curtain drops down
You know it is the end of the show
When the lights are all out
Then, it is about time to go.

And when you step down from the stage
After you perform your final act
If you'll be told it's your last
Will it ever come as a shock?

You might ask what went wrong
Or maybe you've not given your all
That despite all your shouts and screams
You've just experienced your biggest fall.

It could be a harsh reality
And it could be a raging devastation
When your dreams have just ended
Leading to an awful frustration.

Though you can look for another stage
And perform with all your might
Just to prove them wrong
And allow others exclaim with delight.

But the pains and the sufferings
Could torment your very soul
That despite consoling yourself
You will still remain a hopeless fool.

Maybe the next stage will be set
Not today but in the near future
That you may learn to rise again
Despite of that devastating failure.

But for now, if you're a good actor
A brave face can't put up a good show
Take time to heal and continue on living
And learn the art of letting go.
