Poetry Revival A Brilliant Actor (Poem)

A brilliant actor A brilliant actor I am, For people believe my outer seeming. 0 how smooth and shiny I appear When first they behold me coming. A face always gay, That smile seems to stay, A favor I always pay. But never they, Feel how I am hollow from inside. Darkness, shadows and mists Beneath each other lay. A lone shadow inside me Wants to break free, That one beyond the tree From which my downfall barks. Then the same question, that Lingers in my mind, flashes again: When will you reveal? The whole nature of you, the real. It's one of your rights From people you should STEAL, A sight of pity, a warm hug to heal - - - - - -
