Beyond the Stage

Behind the unsung curtain,
the performance was to be readied.
Shadows were escaping.
They knew that,
we’d be the stars.

Our acts were raw.
Partied by costumes made from a blanket we shared,
all of it; of feelings, of wrongdoings, and of whatnot.
altogether.

From the first gaze,
the audience collapsed their hearts.
On the very first note,
souls were carried to a place
beyond the stage.

We’d be telling each other that;
to be there,
is an invitation to be passionate for a change.

To be scared to surrender, and to admit that:
we cannot be more applauded than this.
To be gathering ovations,
regardless of failing life and be failed.
