Barely Afloat

 

In the realm of dreams and fantasies,

Where imagination sets sail,

There lies a world of whimsical tales,

A sanctuary for minds to exhale.

 

The entertainment realm, it beckons,

With lights and laughter, it shines bright,

But behind the scenes, a secret held,

A struggle fought with all their might.

 

In this vast sea of fame and fortune,

Artists navigate treacherous waves,

Their souls adrift, barely afloat,

Chasing dreams that their hearts crave.

 

The actors, like chameleons, transform,

Inhabiting characters, their essence obscured,

Beneath the masks they skilfully wear,

Their true selves, often unheard.

 

Dancers leap and twirl with grace,

Their bodies tell stories through movement,

Yet behind the curtain, aching muscles,

Their dedication fuels improvement.

 

Musicians, with nimble fingers dancing,

Summon melodies from the depths of their souls,

But with each note, a piece of themselves,

A fragile spirit, that music consoles.

 

Writers, the weavers of enchanting tales,

Ink-stained fingertips, capturing worlds unknown,

Though their stories may mesmerize and inspire,

Their own lives can sometimes feel disowned.

 

Directors, the conductors of a grand symphony,

Guiding actors, musicians, and more,

Amidst the chaos of lights and sound,

They bear the weight of their creative lore.

 

Amidst the glamour and the applause,

These artists strive to find their way,

To stay afloat, though the tides may change,

To keep their passions alive each day.

 

So let us celebrate their journey,

Acknowledge the battles they quietly fight,

For the entertainers who bring us joy,

Their dreams keeping them barely afloat, yet shining bright.
