Actor.

Don't be carried away by my smile,

I was shedding tears until some while.

I carry myself with some grace and style,

I rarely hear the music, yet you'll find me jive!

I was no born actor, but knowing I am mortal,

Not waiting for rewards, nor longing for laurels,

As a girl, a sister, a lover, a daughter -

I played along tough roles, whatever life offered.

A day will come. when I can redeem

Whatever I'd wished for, whatever I'd dreamed

For that day I wait, will wait, whatever it means.

To smile from my soul, leaving behind whatever had been.
