BREAK A LEG

 

People say ‘break a leg’ in theater, I think it means good luck

Well if good luck is all you have to depend on beyond the curtains

It seems quite fickle, doesn’t it?

A pirouette to perfect that performance

The absolute pitch to hold that defining note

And a bow to bring it all to an end

Spotlight and all eyes on you

Hinging on the constancy of a ‘broken leg’?

So no, do not ‘break a leg’, I’d rather you kept it intact

Not because I don’t wish you good luck but because I wish you way more

And telling you to ‘break a leg’

LIFE

The age is wicked to those who walk alone,

For only to them will they be known.

When we look into the mirror, we see what we might become

And we fear the dangers that are yet unborn.

Death they say is the greatest loss of life

But loss is when life dies inside you when you are still alive.
