Empty Stage. Poem by Sandra jacks

Empty Stage.

Rating: 5.0


There's a blank stage where I'm standing,
there's no one else.............
and there's a thousand people screaming out my name,
in vein,
so shut-up all you people,
I'm not not a toy to play with,
so shut up all you people,
I'm right here,
will you stop screaming soon now?

Because.......... i'm standing on this empty stage..................
and the truth is it's getting to me,
The empty stage represents,
more then what your eyes can see,
and i've been here so many times,
i've stared directly into the lights,
of this empty stage............................

So shut up all you people!
can you not see me right now, ?
I understand why you scream,
but i just don't know how,
because I'm here,
I'm waiting now,
in silent agony,
of your screaming voices,
this pitch black stage,
is truly haunting me.
is truly.......................

The stage is always a powerful metaphor for the drama in one's life (although for me, as a once upon a time actor, the stage always feels like home) and this poem shouts it's message across the empty seats of your imagination. It has a dream-like quality about it and it bubbles with passion and rage. Great stuff. love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
