In the Act

 

I believe everyone at some point in their lives

Is guilty of sheer naivety

Whether it be in ones youth, perceiving the world through a fluffy cloud 

Sunshine without the coldness of rain

Life without the arrival of death

 

Innocence places a pretty face on a pedestal 

It will gaze, blinded by the glow of a smile

A facade powdered with many hues

Words peppered with charm

Tones heightening with hope 

 

At what age does one become knifed with

Cynicism 

The one that creeps in from the backdoor of the studio

And pulls down the curtain

A pretty face loses its colour

..this is where they harvest still unaware smiles.
