First Night, No Rehearsal
Life begins mid-scene,
no script in my hands,
just a trembling voice
and the weight of the spotlight.
I stumble through lines
I never agreed to speak,
yet each word lands
as if carved in stone.
How cruel, this urgencyβ
to shape myself in seconds,
to wear a costume of flesh
without knowing the story.
Still, the stage keeps turning,
stars lit above my head,
and the only truth I carry:
every flaw is part of the play.
