Fade to Black
I wasn't prom queen
Nor popular at all.
In that movie,
I was only an extra.
Fade to Black
I was a good singer.
Great actor.
For a moment,
My star shined brightest.
Fade to Black
Now playing -
Silent movie.
No words.
Only expressions.
Fighting for the
Camera.
Fade to Black
I no longer fight.
No longer need that
Camera.
I am content in the
Wings.
Fade to Black
While they fight
For the spotlight,
The cameraman
Will grow tired of them.
Fade to Black
He'll pan away
From surgical faces,
Looking for someone
True.
Veer left.
Veer right.
Zoom in.
My face.
