Psalm 51:12
Restore to me the joy of your salvation
and grant me a willing spirit,
to sustain me.

Proverbs 16:9
In his heart a man plans his course,
but the LORD determines his steps.

"All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players:
They have their exits and their entrances;
And one man in his time plays many parts,
His acts being seven ages." - William Shakespeare


All the world's a stage, and we are all merely players.
We play our parts so well, everyone in sync with one another.

But when one misses a line or stumbles, we fail, we fall.
The show, would be done for,
Our parts of no use. All because of one silly mistake.

But when we play our parts well, after comes the applause.
The genuine, yet admittedly jealous, applause,
For our hard work and effort, for not making a mistake.
For the constant meticulous checking, for the rules we do not break.

But what if I get off this stage
And decide to abandon this fake, phony act.
To be not a player, not an actor, but me.
Me.

Like an actor with no lines, no expectations.
No rules to follow, no asides or quotations.
To be who you want to be, without having to play A part.

Ah, but all the world's a stage, and we the 'willing' players,
To play our parts in line with all while we hide our silent prayers.

You keep me safe in a crazy world.
