Description
Is this what I am?Sat in a shadow
Wreathed in a medley
of fallen finery.
A tyrant above commanding
CUT!
And I can but obey.
No gods to pray to now,
Only a spine-sapping circle.
Am I a liar?
The gems at my neck say so.
The paste makes a noose closing
tighter and tighter
and tighter
and
killing the lights.
Blackout.
Rise again for the bows.
Brightness and harshness,
glowing faces,
a review or two in
the lesser presses.
Knockabout comedy
fun for all the family.
Heard the one about
the girl who wanted to
scream?
The faces in front are
affronted. Tis the season
for pantos and dames
but this is too much.
This is April.
Her real name's Sarah
or John. Depends on
your point of view.
Can you see her?
The unwoman that only
blushes through blusher
emotions on tap to
answer the diktats of her
Lord and Master.
He never asked her to
cry ouy.
To cry.
Left alone with the thoughts
of a grey man at a grey desk
mumbling through an
average existence.
He has a picture of him,
and only a diatribe against
her
Liars like her never got
a thrown rose.

I'd like to say this is awesome, but it's subtlety and intricacies went over my head, to the point where I didn't actually understand most of it.

In reply; it's basically a gender dysphoria-powered angst-rant about being in a play.

Makes sense now.
That's mostly a lie.
But I can now honestly say that it's pretty awesome.
