Note - I have experimented a little with the rhyme scheme in this one, slightly. Just an attempt.
“All the world is a stage
and all the men and women are mere player’s”
seemed like a cliché to me forever
until now that I really discovered...
That it is but true
and we all have a role to play
we have to act a certain way
and we already have allotted lines to say
But I want to break away from it
and write my own life’s script
I want to cast my own actors
and never give them dialogues or roles to depict
In Life’s little setup
I met my Romeo and I thought it was love
I played my part to the T, and gave him my life
but as the curtains drew he walked back to the stand by Juliet
I waited and thought maybe I essayed it all wrong
maybe it wasn’t how it was supposed to be
but later the audience told me, he hadn’t played his part right
in reality ,they had all cheered the act that was put up by me
I continued the drama
and tried to always say the right things to friends and foes
tried to stick to the plan and always get a happy ending
but slowly they all went off stage and I was the last one standing.
The world maybe a stage
and we may all have roles to play
but will this drama be the best the we will ever see
who is to say!!
I am carving my own story now
where I will direct the role I play
where I will script my own word
and monitor my own deeds.
In all honesty,
I did succumb to world's big stage
but it’s not what made me happy,
now I want to be free from it
and live life like it is not a dramatic play.
So from now until forever, I am going off stage,
to live life how my heart desires it to be lived
without having an audience to boo or applaud
and I apologize if I don’t play the perfect part in this play
as was wished by the Lord.
