Theater

Ready to watch the theater show
Secured my ticket
My old friends tried out and oh they made it
Looking forward to the show tonight
Friends and families present their tickets
Got there in time, did the same
My heart fills with some nervous excitement
To see them enter as the play begins

Their speech
Their actions
Sound similar but different
In 60s outfits
They sing
Laugh
Feels different
When I'm only watching

I'm having this audience envy
Cause here in my seat
I'm watching dear old friends oh so happy
Feel separated but I can't complain cause
Life will often run away with time
So we must find ways to fill the space
But I keep thinking if things were different
What role I could have played?

Is it shying away
From taking a part?
My vice
A plot device
Do I act
As if things are too far?
To think twice
My alibi

Carpe diem, our show must go on
And I'll stand for them as the curtains close
Maybe I'll see them once this show is over
