Curtain Call

  

Everyday it is the same

I can’t shake it, can’t fight it

              Can’t deny it…

If I broke it nothing would change,

Except more pieces to the puzzle

That doesn’t seem fit yet still feels right.

 

Why does it all have to be?

How come it controls me?

When fate’s reigns

Are in my hands.

 

I am looking for reason and rhyme

Asking myself why…

       Why does it have to be

So damn complicated?

But the beat is off

Making the lyrics rough.

 

So my heart sings this song

A million times over

Only to fall upon deaf ears

Cause the crowds are gone

And the echo vibrates my soul.

 

So I take my bow

       And let the curtain fall

Exiting stage left and out the door

Into the pouring rain.

 

It is then I know it is my entire fault

For I wanted the crowds

When all I needed was

An audience of one.

the way i interperate this writing is that your trying to express what you really feel but there is no one there, and you would be happy if just one took in your song of expression, because it only starts with one.
Nothing controls you, you have free will. Anyway enough of my babbbling another great write from you.

Well Dale, it seems from your latest writes that you have been doing quite a bit of soul searching lately and finding answers that can make you squirm. I see layers in this piece that could refer to a few of life's vises and/or traps. So often, when we search our hearts we discover that there is no one else to blame. We deceived ourselves. It takes a humble and brave man to face it and especially to share it, my friend.

So damn complicated?---------------So the way it to keep it ordinary and avoid the superlatives; I loved this one, for you make words do the work and transport a reflective thougth of a poet, lovely and sensitive poetry.

This was a deep write. The last stanza was hard hitting reality. Put it all together and it formed into one solid piece of writing. Phantom...........

I really like this piece. There is so much in these words. But mostly I get a sense of lose and guilt. It's all about not appreciating what you've got until it is gone. And how you should be careful what you wish for because you just might get it. I love how well you mold the two messages together in this one piece, very nicely done.

wow, great depth to this piece. Very insightful and something we all come to realize. A phenomenal write!!!

We always want to make a difference in life---a change to be productive and to feel satisfied. The circumstances, however, don't always favor us. Change becomes elusive for a grasp. As a result, we easily get discouraged. We let go of every bit of hope until everything falls out of place. Keep writing!

Insightful glance inside you, with a depth of what we search for and what we truly need to embrace... The curtain call works as a reality and a metaphor so uniquely for you. Great write!

Amazing piece. You know I find this to be true. Why is it we all want the bravado? Well it is natural to want to be seen. Being seen to some extent is a exhilliarating thing. But why is it we do the things we do?
We do it for the love and passion for it. Our desire should be our one audience. The desire to create and write from the heart. Ok maybe not exactly what you are saying but I feel like this has spoken to me and the things I have been going through lately. Great piece.

Oh this is such a truthful and heartfelt writing.. many are drawn to the euphoria of being in a crowd.. some aspire to stand out in the crowd.. then you have those who would like to lead the crowd.. this is truly a drug addiction.. honestly.. you can become addicted to this lifestyle and it certainly makes it hard to function normally once you are drawn in.. this is a reflection of after the show is done.. if you are single how it feels to go from being in that crowd to all of a sudden being alone and realizing you always technically were alone as not one "special" person to go home with and share a regular routine.. I have been there in a sense.. I hope you find that one special audience one day to entertain.. as it presents a whole different type of euphoria and high... that of love and comfort.. everyone should have it!!! =)
