Sometimes I wish
I could see myself differently–
as I really am
Free of all illusion
expectation, and
most of all pretense
Sometimes I wish
the actors, plays
and the drama they bring forth
would go on strike
Refusing to perform
Leaving an empty stage
Sometimes I wish
I could step past
all that built up
over my lifetime
and step onto stage
as just myself
