Some people like me this way <br />Some other like me that way <br />Here, a remote control to please every tired soul <br />Switch me <br />Surf me <br />Don't fret <br />I'm here to entertain <br />Ready to change <br />According to your pleasure. <br /> <br />This space I occupy, <br />A weak, aged chair, <br />Is the one thing I trust. <br />A starless sky, <br />Accompanies my ceased emotions. <br />Nobody's breath but mine, <br />Lingering in the misty air. <br /> <br />I numb the noise <br />I blind my eyes <br />As my senses try <br />To alert me: something's wrong <br />Why tonight? Don't save me tonight <br />Must not let down party invitations <br />So don't judge me tonight <br />Don't kill me on a Saturday night. <br /> <br />Many roles I play <br />Plain Jane, Seductive Susan and Angry Osbourne; <br />They don’t define me <br />Many faces I’ve fooled <br />Like an experienced stage actor, <br />I read out my lines <br />Never missed a cue <br />People compete to walk me home <br />I drowned in a lenient definition of bliss. <br /> <br />Emptiness finally bothers <br />Consequence must take its toll <br />God don't like actors, <br />Liar-Liars – they don’t live long <br />I die alone <br />Trapped in a strange world <br />So many scenes and stages I’ve seen <br />But this, <br />This isn't what I know <br />This feeling, I don’t recognize. <br /> <br />Is this how it ends? <br />With me looking out the window <br />Staring at no sun <br />With this song repeating itself <br />Yes, the soundtrack to my sad, nostalgic movie <br />And yes Elvis, <br />It's true, <br />I am lonesome tonight.<br /><br />Lara W.A<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/god-don-t-like-actors/
