Actor

Walk with me on the red carpet
Wear your best suit
The spotlight will focus on us two as we hold hands 
Show off our teeth as the DSLRs go flash
Blabber with a thick accent when the paparazzi storm us 

Swipe all awards
Everything’s yours
‘Best Actor’, ‘Best Villian’, ‘Best Supportive Actor’
Grab the gold ones
Our faces would be on The Daily Mail next morning

Let’s jog around Central Park after the debut
People with hood sweaters would greet us
“Hey,you’re the actors!”
“Oh my god,you’re so famous!”
Please smile after you hear that
You don’t get those compliments everyday

No matter how our mothers boast about their successful children
It doesn’t count on how many jobs that we get
They didn’t take a glance of our journey
On how we put our heads against the window when we failed our Maths test
The distance we ran from the burglars that wanted the cash we brought to celebrate my birthday party
We got expelled from school when we were 16 because of skipping classes
Worked at Auntie Mary’s pretzel bakery and threw flour to each other’s hair
How we started as trees for Pizza Hut’s charity play until we nailed hero and heroin to ourselves 
Yet,we still acted like we never do anything wrong
That’s why we are eligible enough to be actors
Lying to the society day and night
Fooling directors and crews
Covered our scenes with changing our hairstyle and make-up
Oh my,we sinned too much

What should we do next?
Life cycle was meant to be like that
When the director says ‘Action!’
Go and play some drama
Keep on acting,love
They won’t know as long as you replace your tears with a wide grin
