E…e…easy now.
Try to stay calm, and settle down.
They’ll react just the same to false smiles or drenched frowns.
You’re your own worst enemy
In the limelight of midnight.
What can’t be seen can’t hurt…
So they say.
Isn’t that right?
Out of sight,
Out of mind,
Infinitesimally far between.
The sheen on television screens
Radiates menacingly before me.
The perception of my reflection
Causes cold stone to question,
Yet they,
Whose weight I carry,
Require a flawless rendition.
