Make a show

Make a display

To make it real

It’s a reliable way

To prove that you feel

Make it known

Cue the charade

You made a deal

It’s the price that you pay

For something to feel

But it’s not real

I submit to the game

Is this how

You wanted to play?

Take your turn

Take your place

What’s left to reveal?

Reap rewards for the way

You proved that you feel

Trade your lines

of eloquent praise

For something real

Til you find a better way

There’s nothing to feel

It’s finally real

I submit to the game

Is this how

You wanted to play?
