Stop The Play

The act is now on display for the world to see

You laugh along, play along, so well it looks like reality.

What used to be a script is now etched into the lines of your life, defining your new mentality.

You played the game for so long now its playing you.

You went from being the director, to being directed into the new you

What you thought was just an act,

What you thought wasn’t the real you

What you thought would bring you acceptance

Only brought you further from the truth

So stop playing the game and drop the act

Stop acting your worse for a pat on the back

Because the very lines you wrote to free yourself from humiliation

Are the same lines that are bound to this generation

The lines that read “Don’t stand up for what you believe in,

 Don’t stand up and feel free to believe in-“

Believe in a lie that’ll bring you acceptance.

Believe in the lie even if you reject it.

Just as long as you forget about repentance

And forget about the reality.

The reality that says

Before the play started you were free

Before you sought to appease them you sought to appease the King

Before the words to your script were written

And before you chose to remain hidden

It was hidden words that set you free

The act can only go on for so long before it becomes your reality.

The new reality that you chose to run and hide

When he died

To set you free

So stop writing the play of run and hide

 And start living like he died, to set you free

Start living like he’s alive and it’s only his acceptance that you need.

Because you can continue writing you own play

Continue to fabricate your own day

Continue to please these shallow crowds

Even if it means breaking what you vowed

Because in the end he will have the last say

So I say

Stop the play!
