Acts Of The Uncertain

In honor of our 1000 views, we wrote this piece together. It's a poem about persevering in times of uncertainty, while the world is watching you take the stage. 

T'was a tale of two cities of two people both so witty,

Both commanding the stage, coming out of their present rage,

One was centred, collected, levelled and believing to be better,

Unfortunately the other was uncertain and undecided on the scripts of this matter

Fleeting fancies and pretty pansies have left the scene

The heart of stone with a soul sick to the bone has entered stage left.

Let us seek the non-humorous comedies and find solace in this so called tragedy,

Go forth, write and soothe your soul.

The words so pretty were just lines of a script,

The actor says them convincingly but the audience catch on pretty quick,

Dear leading lady, don’t believe all those lofty words of love,

When the scene comes to a close, he will take flight like a dove.

The stage reeks of the stench of the last actor's rambling streak,

His ego thinks his character exuberated such excellence in his performance,

Encore, encore, echoes in his head but boo and boo is what the crowd really said,

He pranced off the stage with such pride, no shame nor cloth to cover his hide.

Be still oh leading lady still standing centre stage,

You can rewrite your role throughout your age,

It might feel like the actor has managed to overshadow your light,

But the audience awaits with bated breath for you to put up a fight.

Much to the audience’s delight,

This leading lady put up a fight,  

But that fire in her that once burned so bright had dimmed,

And she felt like her chances were slim.

But she fought with all she had left,

With the support of the ones who never left,

That fire began to burn brighter than it ever has,

She was a warrior who wouldn’t tolerate sass.

At the end of the play our leading lady saves the day,

The actor saw the scene in with renewed eyes,

He adapted, he reformed and so now the audience prays,

That both leading lady and actor will triumph to the skies.

SB is a conflicted soul of sorts, who is mad enough to go chase after what she really loves as opposed to conform to society and her mother's idea of a successful person. She prays she makes it in life, because she will not be able to tolerate the nagging that would follow if she doesn't. Her inspiration comes from everything around her, as well as made up situations in her head. Good luck distinguishing between the two. 

SY is a 'Jacqueline of all trades' who loves wearing plaids.
She doesn't believe in things that fade and fulfills the promises that she made.
She seeks the hearts of the troubled, to be a listener in times when things are doubled.
She's the kind who stands in the gap, who will only call it quits when it's a wrap.

JN is the one who doesn't take chances, but she's working on that. She's powering through life, one day at a time. Even with all that life throws her, you'll always see her with a smile. She's a hopeless romantic, hopeless beyond repair. You may say she's a dreamer, but she's got her feet on the ground.
