This is another poem that I've gotten my school to publish recently. Currently the magazine it will be in isnt in print yet, but soon :D

In this one I wanted to get on a dark note since I've never done it. I think I did very well acually. Enjoy!

The stage is dark.
Cold,
Relentless.
Those who act, subjugate themselves to the harsh mistress.
I take the Stand with Heart in hand,
Hiding beneath my mask.
A single light.
Searing,
Exposing.
I see the twilight gazes of those who judge me.
Holding their breath,
Waiting for me to slip.
They know my lines, know my part, how I should be!
How I will be.
The eyes cry out!
They must sate their hunger!
I WILL BE THEIR SACRIFICE!
I resist.
Every fiber screams in horror, but the searing photons shrink me down.
I fear all my secrets.
KNOWN!
I scream! Swinging at invisible demons that only I can see!
Then, as all hope seems lost the attack ends.
And as the limelight dries my tears and I give one final kiss goodbye to who I ones was,
What I once was.
I straighten.
And realize I’m acting again.
