"All the world's a stage

And all the men and women merely players

They have their exits and their entrances

And one man in his time plays many parts"

William Shakespeare

If the world is just a stage, then you'll need to fight hard to gain a leading role. But having to face an audience and constantly put on a stirring performance is exhausting. You'll experience fear and anxiety. Palms sweating. Heart racing. You may turn to certain remedies to help you through. If you're lucky, you'll have a long successful run. If not, you'll bear the criticism of a hostile crowd and close on the first night with others waiting in the wings to eagerly take your place. Eventually, you'll face the final curtain and take your last bow, but the show will still go on without you.

Nothing’s ever what it seems

Cherished hopes, shattered dreams

Never knowing what it means

Till it falls apart

All the yearning, all your plans

Feel them slipping through your hands

And you don’t get a second chance

To fix a broken heart

Don’t tell me I’m a fool, I know

Stood aside and watched you go

Should’ve tried to hold on, but oh

I was looking at the stars

Everything you want

is on the other side of fear

Where you only see what you wanna see

And you believe what will never be

I let you walk away from me

And now I wonder where you are

Like stage fright

Getting caught in the spotlight

Never thought I’d be on my own

In the danger zone

Not knowing where to start

Like stage fright

Lost for words on the first night

Hold your nerve gotta face the pack

Cos you can’t go back

Gotta learn to play the part
