Lights Camera Action by Emma Eaton

"The spotlight's on you
as you stand there smiling,
with perfect hair,
perfect makeup,
the perfect disguise.

People believe you are truely as narcissistic as you appear, even egotistical.
What a great character you have become.

The camera lies,
as inside you feel alone,
unwanted,
flawed.

But no one can know this
so you step back onto your centre stage
with the spotlight glaring,
looking happy
& flawless,
continuing to smile
and pose,
like the actress you have become.

Your life is just an act,
and once again you put on your facade,
as tomorrow is your next scene.
And the alarm clocks calls,
"Lights.. Camera.. Action.."
