“The Role”

I deeply meditate, before I hear “Action!”

Preparing for a scene, blocking out every distraction.

With this character’s motive, based on betrayal-

I knew every line, every emotion, every detail!

Nobody has more experience than me.

When it comes to betrayal-

I hold the key!

Deeper into character, than I’ve ever been-

It’s where ‘real’ lifes led, from family to friends.

“Trust no one!” My gut screamed to me!

Blinded by, “Main Role” thinking “I killed that scene.”

I heard from the crew:

“Amazing job! We’ll call you, after the footage is reviewed.”

Hoping betrayal, would be absent just this once!

Happiness I felt, not the usual punch.

Later, reviewing the casting call; I wasn’t surprised.

Nobody knows betrayal; better than I!

Behind my back; cast his ‘friend’ instead?

Soon, his mistake will be dripping with dread.

What they don’t know?

I am different than most.

With this business being extremely cut throat.

I know his friend, can’t beat my own path.

I doubt her past has been labeled ‘doormat.’

When they call me back; to myself, I shall laugh!

My personality, they mistook.

A confident actress; just a look.
