Performer

By Saqib Sheikh

The world's a stage for me,

Where I daily perform,

To suit the theme I be,

Everyday a different form.

The beings who surround,

Become my audience,

My aim to astound,

Recieving fine stance.

Sometimes appreciated,

Pleasures me the growth,

Sometimes hated,

I refine from both.

My dwelling the backstage,

I learn and prepare,

Performance I gague,

All the faults I repair.

Why so profound,

You may ponder,

Because the world around,

Not where I'd wander.

I turn it to opportunity,

To live as per will,

Presenting me with beauty,

Perceiving world with thrill.

Hoax you may find,

Me deceiving other,

I think of me as other kind,

I am the performer.
