A Star

by

Laura Beth Leither

We started out well at least I thought
But soon I discovered we always fought
All I wanted was a good role to play
Just a good costume and some lines to say
At first I was content and settled just to stand there
But then I realized I was your last care
All of your favorites always got the lead
It didn't matter if I was better or did a good deed
To prove you wrong I strayed away
To community theatre and film I plan to stay
You got the point and let me be
House manager of the play, I wasn't filled with glee
But I would do well just to let you know
That I wasn't an idiot when it comes to a show
But you turned around I should have known
And left me out of the program to stand alone
If only you knew my plans to come
A star I will be and credit you'll get none
Yes, I am bitter as you can see
I pity all the students you treat like me
