The Actor

He's kept the secret for so long

The dirty prison hidden away

Horrendous beasts within must stay

For to unleash them would be wrong

Alone at night, when on bended knee

He argues that is for the human race

That he must lie and don a foreign face

His soul is prisoner and his sanity the key

In others, he witnesses the spark

A flame that burns warm and bright

But, they do not look in the mirror and fight

For the actor's true role is evil and dark
