ACTOR

 

ACTOR

 

Confess confession frightened life,

Peruse detached way lustful knife,

Knife that severely cut deep bleed,

Not a drop of blood, pain, exceed, (1)

 

Decency, inherent nature, deflated,

Lost balances tendency degraded,

Blinded, fail, surmise consequences,

Commit blunders alarm sequences, (2)

 

Fear humiliations similar to death,

Respect, admiration, equal wealth,

Sequel to result in life uncomfortable,

Last resort to save, pretend enable, (3)

 

Confess storehouse of desire afire,

The suavity dignity demeanor hire,

Bitterest fight cruel mind insulate,

Clips conscience character initiate, (4)

 

How many downfalls, rise again, well,

Crying, realizing mistakes, lust if fuel,

Lust not only physical, power, position,

Amass wealth, assets, status yearn, (5)

 

Confess the ideal way thousands bare,

Grumbles life at failure, anger dare,

By hook, by crook, novel ingenuity,

Repents less gain happiness entity, (6)

 

Achieving is laced with deception madly,

Actions changed to an actor, sadly,

Tight-lipped, silent heart locked up,

The secret of life dark patches hold up, (7)

 

Confess today to my soul mirrored,

Thousand sin criminal act corrode,

Still happy to get everything, to applaud,

Confess taunt mirror horror inroad, (viii)

 

Top position people demark, lonely,

Realized lost peace, lust stolen only,

Desired had aspiration immoral lit,

Bedazzled fans corrupt pseudo wit, (9)

 

Back home, sit alone only to discover,

Cheated me only ruined my future,

Forgot for a marriage, family, child,

Actor, I danced as a joker life wild, (10)

 

Proud of cheating, the viewer feels fear,

Time never felt understood stealer,

Eric stealth, creeping, sensations,

Wrinkles, sluggish limb motions, (11)

 

Frequent tiredness crept and alarm,

Action mints gold predict and harm,

Rejects movie, proxy busy absurd,

Confess to my soul alone, I record, (12)

 

Unknown to tear joy baby impress,

Deprived only marriage happiness,

Knows loneliness single I betrayed,

Hundreds of characters portrayed, (13)

 

Heard applause, awards ceremony,

My soul today rebels, loud acrimony,

Precious life in front of my departure,

Confesses life lost and lust as an actor. (14)
