The Sideshow
There are times
Spent on the main stage
And other times
Where you work from the wings
I know a lot about it
In that I’m a producer
And spend most of the time
In the background - making the show
But life doesn’t have a backstage
It’s played out
Under the lights
And in real time
And that’s where I sometimes wonder
Whether being in the spotlight
Doing things that create the fun
Is really the best show to be living
Because producing the fun
Doesn’t always yield the desired result
Of being the headliner
But rather just being the sideshow
Hot cars, fancy bars and movie stars
Can be a blast
And fine dining is always a plus
But when it’s done it doesn’t last
So putting yourself on the stage of life
Comes with many roles
And the ones you pick can say a lot
About the journey and the reviews
