Under The Spotlight

Life is a scene,
dreams are just the curtain, expected to fall,
you dance in pain, leap toward love's birth,
and then vanish into the grey world!

I don't ask to be understood—
an actor was born alongside me too...
And I suffer and weep,
threading joy through the tears,
surrendered wholly to this turbulent game,
yes, life is my stage,
and its end, dark, arrives in death...

I want the freedom to chase my dreams,
burning bright to the final breath—
after a gentle spectacle
that has touched heaven in its central role
---to make me human at last!
