Because We're Dramatic

We overexaggerate,
Pronouce every letter in our words.
We put smiles on each other's faces
when no one else would understand.

We stand on stage in a whole new world only we live in.
Colored lights and layers of makeup;
wooden structures and musty clothes.
They could say that we're fake;
but we all know we're the realest you can find.
And it's funny
How the "realest" people in the world
Get the most enjoyment out of pretending to be someone else.

Thank you, Thespis, for our name.
Thank you, writers, for our words.
Thank you, wardrobe, for our disguise.
Thank you audience, for letting this be real.
