The corners of her mouth turned down
Discovering an actress
It was as if she saw a ghost
Something foreign
An alien
Her stare was intense,
In total shock
You could read her mind
Racing with questions
How does she never break character?
Why is she doing this?
When did this start?
Who is she?
I thought I knew her.
She hasn't met an actress before
She asked the people around
They all confirmed I'm acting
Still confused, she asked, "Why"?
Their response,
"Because it's part of the job."
I will never forget her face,
The way it stirred my soul,
I saw my trauma response,
Reflected in her bewildered eyes,
It deserved no applause,
And it hurt.
