By Tahra Dactyl
Humans are incredible at acting,
except not on a conventional stage.
We act on a stage of discrimination:
sexism,
religious intolerance,
homomisia,
racism.
A stage of social constructs.
We have doomed ourselves to lives
of acting.
Pretending we’re someone we’re not.
Forced into personas by our fear of being left out,
our fear of being seen as
different.
We’re all good at acting,
because
of our stage fright.

The closing presents a very provocative paradox.
Nice work Tahra
