All The World's A Stage

Some of us just stand there.
We’re not always sure
what to do with our hands
and what expression to wear.


Some of us feel uncomfortable
when people stare
and wait for us to say something
they’d like to hear.


What if we say the wrong thing
and they jeer
and throw rotten fruit at us?
Is there somewhere to hide? Where?


But what if we deliver our lines
perfectly and they cheer and cheer
and then want more and more from us?
Is there somewhere to hide? Where?
