Can't Wait Until Graduation

Contributed by Chamaron on Sunday, 18th October 2009 @ 02:32:03 AM in AEST
Topic: Lifepoems

The scene has ended but were still on stage
The lights are still on, no one notices but me
You actors and audience look at me expectantly
Ive got nothing more to say; Im ready for a change
But this eerie silence is scary, unduly strange.

Scenery frayed, dusty, gray from overuse
Its been a long play and it hasnt changed one bit
Ive memorized every single inch of it.
Maybe its time I say the lines I pick and choose,
This time the winner wont win, the loser wont lose.

I imagine the acts end, wearing purple robes
Crying, saying goodbye, so happy to be done
Seemingly effortless survival, really a war won.
But its many more scenes of all this nothing
Before I hear that fat lady belatedly sing.

It feels like years more of actors clothing,
Of lines I didnt write, didnt want to say
Before I have the chance to get my way.
Ill be off this drafty stage, living at last
With all this pretend a mistake long past.
