The Audience
Under the spotlight she stands
The audience cheers, awaiting
Forgotten dreams and empty hands
No strength left for daring
Familiar shadows lurk
Echos of paralyzing ambition
Knees-down on a spiraling stage
Nothing but blurry vision
Arms weak, thoughts clouded
No words to speak except 'sorry'
Turned away and broken-hearted
Drowning in what once was glory
Under the spotlight, she fell
The audience cheers, awaiting
She sinks into their voices
Surrendering to hell
