Roles
'Oh! Tear apart this wretched soul!
I didn't get the leading role.
I'm in charge of props and mirrors!
I was just perfect for that part;
instead it's gone to some upstart.
She can not even cry real tears!
A junior got the leading role
and this is tearing up my soul.
What shall I do? I have such fears!'
'Failure weighs upon your shoulders
like so many mighty boulders.
I know just what you're going through.
Be the prop girl they require,
though it's not your true desire.
There will be other roles for you.
So stop those tears and dry your face.
and put that smile back into place.
You have much better things to do!'
