Composure

[C]limb up on that stage. It'ds opening night of this self-proclaimed play. An "improv" act, if you will. Wait 'til all eyes are on you before you pull out that gun. Ready? Slowly now, no need to hurry. Make sure the safety is
[O]ff. You can't afford to make any mistakes tonight. Look out into the audiance. Those are your alledged friends? Can you see their fear? You've kept your head down for your enire life, now it's time to finally
[M]eet their eyes. You're not invisible anymore. There's silence now, you've got their full attention. Cock the gun. hear how it echoes? Don't you enjoy that sound? Savour it, that reassuring click. There will be no more
[P]retending. You're not okay, you're not fine, and now everyone knows it. Do you think they're surprised? Or even now, do they care? that this is what it came to? But now you're center stage, you're the star
[O]f the show. All eyes on you, waiting for your next move. Feel the tension? Don't lose your cool. Feel the gun, that reassuring weight that fits so nicely into your hand. Raise it slowly, rest the barral above your ear. Hear that
[S]cream? You're getting through to them now. Don't hesitate, what are you doing? This is no time for stage fright or second thoughts. They never cared before, and they don't now. They didn't even notice you were here
[U]ntil you pulled out that pistol. Blink away those tears girl, leave with no regrets . The show must go on. this is something they'll always remember, You're doing well. The play is a success, all eyes are
[R]iveted on you. Twently seconds into the act and approaching the final scene. Now carefully squeeze the trigger, and prepare to take your bow. It's a standing ovation, they're rushing the stage. there will be no
[E]ncore tonight.
