Notes On The Go

Capturing Everyday Moments

Perform or Perish

by

in

I fight quiet battles within safe spaces 

Silent screams pierce my soul 

My mind and body are completely out of sync 


You see me in full armour 

Apparently in total control 

I revel in your applause to my performance 


The world is a stage- I’m on!

Lights, camera,action!

But suddenly the curtains fall


You cannot see me – im off

A heap of lumbered limbs 

Almost crawling away from the stage


Trying to survive in this cruel world 

A world in denial

Where performers are welcome 

But perishers are relegated to the periphery
