A Theater Lover

A Theater Lover

Poem

May 25

Written By William .

Here you see a theater lover,

He dares not watch a comedy,

Being embarrassed for the character;

He dares not watch a horror,

Being frightened for the character.

Yet in every tragic play you will see him

Sitting in the corner torturing his nails;

Or through his windows you will discover

Acting the victim crying like a river.

In private you presume about his life

He’s barely seen and seldom heard.

You would guess he seeks to get out —

But in public he swears he’s good as hell.

Attend the tale of a theater lover,

You will see that he’s a tragedy’s character.

Never has he had the courage to end it all,

Just watching the same play

And on the brink of fall.
