My Play
I am like play.
My only purpose is to entertain.
Sometimes I make you laugh,
Sometimes I make you gasp.
Sometimes I make you worry,
Sometimes I make you smile.
Sometimes I make you cry,
Sometimes I make you care.
I can be whatever you want.
Just tell me what genre you’d like,
And I can be it.
He wants a comedy,
And she wants a romance.
He wants a fantasy,
And she wants a tragedy.
I can perform whatever show you want,
As long as you tell me.
But I cannot perform if you don’t choose.
If I don’t know what you want,
I can only do my best,
Which is so rarely enough.
Because behind the scenes of my mind,
I am a complicated disaster.
My props are all wrecks,
My lighting is fried.
My actors are scrambling,
Unsure who should star.
But you’ll never know,
I won’t let it show.
I will just do my best,
And then all the rest.
