My Final Bow

As my life is a play, being shown on a stage, I know that things can be shown in their true form. But, unlike most, the end of my play won't be a grand finish. The greatest acts of my life are long gone and all that remains is time. Time I must remain here, trapped in a world where happiness has lost feeling, excitement is few and far between, and even waking up in the morning has become a chore.

But when it comes, the time to take my final bow, please remember that the acts which held meaning have long since passed. As I take that final bow, I don't want a standing ovation and I don't want the slightest tear shed. I just ask that you turn and walk away, never giving a second thought as to the reason I was here. Just leave me on stage with the lights fading, and know that for the first time since my story began, I can feel at peace. I'm free from the chains of life which dragged me down, free from worry about the world around me, and free from the biggest weight that I had to always carry...myself.
