Behind all curtains

Behind all curtains

At the end of scenes

Neath credits which roll

Know this something about me

Not when young

But always and regardless of old

I am anxious for life

And for over and free

I am nervous about failure

Not for you but, more selfishly, for me

Because I do not rest well

Atop the grave of memory

No, instead I find myself excited

To be done

And in my own perception to be

From myself most obviously "Free"
