We're All...Actors! Poem by Rahul Singh Rana

We're All...Actors!

Rating: 4.6


They say we are actors,
The world's a stage,
We simply act,
Because we are actors.

Out of rhythm,
We must sing.
Share a laugh,
Shed a tear
In this world of illusion,
I must be dreaming..
After all, we're all
Actors!

The way I used to act,
Slowly steal a glance
Of your radiant self.
They say
I must have been acting,
Cause we're all actors.

An act of life,
Or a life of act!
I mixed them up,
Not knowing the script
I still enact.
Though i'm not sure,
If we're all...just actors!

It is the dilemna we all face at times. Sometimes we are mimicking those around and who have been our role models and other times we may be making independent decisions but still these decisions are influenced by so many other things they may not truly be independent. And then we are put in a role or place in life we did not choose and are forced act the part. You deal with this complexity well in you poem. Thanks for sharing.

Shakespeare said, This world is a stage and actors enter and exit.Your poem is depiction of the same idea.Even in real life we act. Nicely done Col Muhammad Khalid Khan

Words of Shakespeare can't be ignored But the script writer is Bidhata. Nicely framed with soothing words. Thanks for sharing.
