Bright, hypnotizing lights; lukewarm smiles
center stage hit the spotlight
boy bands in grown men’s bodies
they have something to prove
and everything to lose rusty moves
join the line for physical therapy
insert a little drama, egos galloping in the way
the goal is to make a comeback.

Hold me gently, lovingly; keep my heart
safe even when the world is crumbling
around you; don’t lose track of
my uniqueness; safeguard my presence.
