For the Stage I stay

I wrote this half way through my school's musical this year. I was mad at the cast and the teacher.

You tell me you need me

Then throw me down

I sang my heart out

And it walked away

Now I want to go after it

But you stop me in my tracks

Slowly my heart comes back

But when it gets here

It will slowly stop and die

I want to sing for you 

My heart is gone because of you

But if I leave the stage

The cast moves toward death

Even as my soul leaves me

I sing

But I sing for me not you

I sing for the fame not others

I sing so that one day

I'll look back

And say I'm glad I did it

Yet even as I say this you tell me you need me

And then you throw me down

I've felt this way before, I also liked how at one point you used a commen frase and added onto it to make you rethink things.
