Before the curtains fall
Before those fancy red curtains fall,
I want the center stage and that spotlight,
To fix its gaze on me as I stand tall,
As I show the world what I'm capable of
Before those curtains dance its way to the end
I want to have the moment for myself
Where I am the shining star loved by many,
The protagonist who gets the happy ending
I am tired of being the background,
The shadow to make a human whole,
I'm just nothing but the blur myself;
The forgotten every after the show
I am tired of struggling for me to be felt
For me to materialize in people's eyes
And be embossed as another personality;
Worthy of all the love and attention
Before the curtains kiss the crowd farewell
I want myself to be heard
Not as the bass nor the treble;
Not as instrumental, but now as the voice
I'm just a nobody that only nobody notices
Caged, trying so hard to free myself from myself
I just want break free from these walls caving me in
To finally sing and dance and act my story
How I wish I could throw myself at that stage
To be seen and heard and recognized finally
Then no more fears, no more silent tears can stop me
I'll be taking that chance before the curtain falls.
