Not exactly like the challenge but hope you still enjoy!
Stage of Memories
My heart is a stage
where I can visit
and watch characters
that I used to love and know
they perform and reenact all to a familiar flow
as they begin to perform on my
~Stage of Memories ~
Scenes from my past gets a reboot
while some scenes to me goes by too fast
as some I wish would stay and last
no one else is here to see
these most secretive scenes
they're only exclusive to me
presented and debuted on my
~Stage Of Memories ~
I sometimes wish to join in
to relive those scenes
but there is already a character playing me
he plays the role so well
and has good stage presence as well
he says things I've said
he feels things I felt
all the while looking just like I used to
I guess this theater allows me to give a review on my past self
as I watch my past unfold on this
~Stage of Memories ~
I sit there and watch
I laugh and even cry
at the hurt of some scenes that unfold in front of my very eyes
the actors are very good
how they play the scenes according to the mood
at last it gets to the last scene
the characters take their bows
while the curtain close as I finish reminiscing
as I give them a standing ovation for performing on my
~Stage of Memories ~

Hope
It has been a ruthless winter here
Clawing my way out,gritting my teeth in fear
Sweaty palms and rethinking everything I held dear
My mind was home to all the dark thoughts that lurked near
People tried to coax me out of this well I built,they even had to scream
But I felt numb,useless-out of reach.
My vision blurry and future no longer secure
The prickly rope of guilt dug into my wrists-hope, I couldn't procure
But yesterday I saw the first daisy grow
A shade of yellow in the dust of concrete
Dark days are over-the sun I shall greet.

The Joy Of Forgetting (?)
The feeling that comes with watching perpetuity end
And being okay with watching your name on my recent contacts descend
The feeling of knowing that,despite it all,I made it out back to myself
And to be at peace with the relics of pain and love buried in our photographs on my shelf
Of no longer turning the page to challenge fate-the only horoscope I read now is my own
And of no longer staying up till 3,scrutinizing the slightest change in your tone
Perhaps this is what they mean by collateral beauty-the feeling of overcoming what once seemed insurmountable
Can't believe that the times I used to let things slide was uncountable
Looking back it seems trivial-the tortured silence between us that once seemed a wedge
Now here I stand,having finally stepped back from the ledge
Admiring the beautiful,hopeful horizon that stretches ahead

The final night in the wings.
One last cue.
Not knowing this would be the end
Leaving my colleagues, my stars and you...
Stepping out of stage door without a clue when I’d sign in next.
The last prop handed to an actor, the final standby light pressed.
Waving to the lights of the West End.
Returning home.
Goodbye, friend.
Five years. It’s been five years. Chronic illness is a life of lockdown. I yearn for my 21st June.

Right left
Right
Hhuup nope
Silent tap
H3o?
You first saw me,
Love at first site,
In a cherry blooming in the morning,
Wit over sweat,
Failure over success,
Pain over Love,
...
It's isn't horseshoe...it's u now...

Like Raindrops Caught In Rays
I was glistening for them
Like raindrops caught in rays
The light wiped through me
My heart caved
I play the seed to sow

I don't understand why life has to be so tough and rough sometimes.

...Rhythm of Soul...
Pain, through the journey, is inevitable,
Don't deviate from your goal...
If you wish to set fire on the stage,
Oh man, dance on the rhythm of your soul...!!

I'm at that stage of my life where I don't get influenced, I influence.

Joker
No more laughter
Audience turn their backs
Punchline lost
Red light flashes
Stage barred
Funny bone broken
Jokes and gags stale
"A" material empty
Make-up stripped
Reality catches up
Life not so amusing.

Our life is like a drama. Some are comic, some are tragic. But we all have a role to play in this stage called world.

Comical writing .
Entertainment .
Visualization .
Clean comedy . ?
Educational comedy .
Comedian ( on stage and telling jokes ) : Hello !
Can anybody share or explain to me the 7th
planet from the sun ?
A person in the crowd : You very smart
comedian !
Persons in the crowd staring at each other .
A person in the crowd : The 7th planet from the
sun is Uranus !
Comedian and a number of persons in the
crowd begin laughing .
Comedian : I think we just broke the 4th wall . ?
At least a person in the crowd : You are a
smooth and intellectually gifted comedian .
Somebody in the crowd : I think we are done
here because you brought too much science to
the table .
Same person in the crowd : Seriously , please do
not ruin that performance because we as a
group learned too much from that very brief joke .
Yes , we did break the 4th wall .
Comedian : Well , we have broken the 4th wall
too much and I am going to have to exit via the
3rd wall . By the way , the planet we live on is the
3rd planet from the sun and the planet we live
upon is named planet Earth .
The announcer of whom began sitting within the crowd :
Honestly and truly , I am impressed because we
did break the 4th wall and the exit is the 3rd wall
as well Uranus is the 7th planet from the sun .
Also earth is the 3rd planet from the sun and yes
that is the planet that we earthlings live upon . I
am personally impressed because you truly
brought a lot of science into the comical
performance . You already obtained a 5 star
review and that was barely the beginning of the
comical performance .
Comedian : A light bulb just turned on .
Person within the crowd : An internal epiphany ?
Comedian : Basically . Yes .
Same person with the crowd : That lightbulb
could have been the sun . Here , please think
about this . The sun orbits around you and you
rotate around the sun because you alongside
many earthlings live upon the planet named earth .
The earth rotates and orbits around every
earthling and every earthling also orbits around
the sun .
Comedian : You have researched your books of
education and science because you are speaking
about the historical writings of Ptolemy and
Galileo .
A different person within the crowd : Wow , you
are very intellectually gifted . Look , you deserve
a supportive 5 star review and money . Also , you
can continue the performance or not . We can
continue the performance and breaking the 4th
wall or not . Either are fine .
Another person within the crowd : Coughs * Please do not ruin that . Coughs *
Comedian : Well , I think ending this interaction
with a responsible ending would be the very best
or of the highest quality . I am going to hang out
in the back for a little while and then hop into and
out of the crowd and continue listening to
additional performers because I also am a part of
the crowd . Thanks guys ! Very soon , I am going
to hop into the crowd with everybody .
The comedian signals that he is exiting and begins
exiting with a thumbs up , a wave and a slight bow .
The crowd begins clapping , giggling , whistling
and cheering .
The Applause of the crowd begins and ends .
The comedian exits the stage and eventually joins
the crowd as the comedian previously shared with
the crowd .
The comedian enters the crowd and sits at a
table alongside members of the crowd because
the comedian also is a part of the crowd .
A member of the crowd : I am glad to see you .
Here , I have a Milky Way dark chocolate bar . Do
you want the Milky Way dark chocolate bar ?
Comedian within the crowd : Are we earthlings ?
The very same member of the crowd : Yes .
Comedian within the crowd : That would also be
the answer to the question that you asked me .
Yes , I would enjoy the Milky Way dark chocolate
bar . Could I buy that from you or could I trade
you for that ?
The very same member in the crowd : No . You
truly earned the dark chocolate bar . The dark
chocolate bar is free . You knew I was speaking
about the solar system and the galaxy when I
brought up the Milky Way dark chocolate bar .
Comedian within the crowd : Hehehe . God
gifted the milky way .
The very same member in the crowd : The
galaxy or the dark chocolate bar ?
Comedian within the crowd : Both .
The very same member in the crowd : Well , I am
not going against that logic . Here you go ( gifts
the Milky Way dark chocolate bar to the
comedian of whom is sitting at a table and
within the crowd ) .
Please , let us continue listening to the many
comedians within the performance .
Comedian within the crowd : Absolutely .
Thanks for the dark chocolate bar .
The crowd proceeds to be entertained by
the performers . -

Downfall of the Dancer
Hairspray fills the room
Is that one lost shoe?
Fall off that box and you’re doomed
I missed my part- oh, boo hoo
We go over dances hour after hour
There is no end in sight
Turns fall, legs going weak
Why don’t you take a break- I just might
Costumes on
Hair fixed
four layers of lip balm
I think I might be sick
Show starts
Lights hot
What a work of art
I’m about to go on, wait, STOP!
What happens next I don’t know
I remember a girl…
What a blow
Now my head's in a whirl
Other dancers circle round
Their faces all a blur
I can not hear a sound
Why couldn’t either of us swerve?
The girl I collided with
Is dancing back on stage
There is no music
I find her so brave
I see her face now
Tears streaming down her cheeks
I can’t take my eyes off of her
Even as the gurney squeaks
I wake up. It’s 2pm
Where am I?
I want my family
I need to see them
They tell me something’s wrong
Already sensed that
They say I’m stuck in the hospital
Tell me. Why is that?
Horrific concussion
Broken hips broken heart
Feet mangled
I’m right back at start
Physical therapy
Replace my entire life
Crazy hard stretches
Is it really worth all the strife?
I’m in a black room
Only a single light to be seen
Then it goes off
I wake up with a scream
That dream is back
But no light is on
Lost, in the dark
Forever alone
Advil becomes my leaning post
I leaned too hard
The post broke
I’m definitely not the one to boast
Walls are crumbling
So am I
Sleep engulfs me
Just let me die
I find the light
I hear a voice
‘Come to me’ it says
Doesn’t look like I have a choice
So I was called to church
A new kind of family
A family who doesn’t care
What I do or what I wear
The coach says I’m healed
For some reason I don’t believe him
I won’t ever be the same
I will never begin again
My dream gone for good
Where do I go next
I have lost a piece of my puzzle
I guess this is the real test

Stages of life..
There are 3 stages of life..
1st in which you want some kind of person which can guide you through good and bad things...
2nd in which you want someone who can understand you...
And in
3rd in which you only want someone who can only listen to you without judging yourself...

Square
The bottled box,
Rattling away in an empty town square.
Vibrating at no one,
Being applauded by the breeze and grass.
Stranded on a tiny stage,
Rumbling round itself.
Locked speeches of a beating heart.
A soundless chasm of infinite yelling.
Drowned out by the silence of the dead square.
Boxing away.
All by itself.
Bottling more,
And more,
And rattling alone,
In an empty town square.

Do that one act daily which enlightens your soul,
After all life is a stage to act on,
And if you are an actor,
Your soul needs to be bright !

In Your Opalescence
I see you up there on that stage
You glow,your eyes bold
I sit somewhere back,in the shadows
In a daze
Wondering if it is appropriate
To start the applause.
I see you take a bow with the cast
I want to go up to congratulate you
But you're surrounded by friends and the crew
I am ashamed of my cowardice
Because I turn back and I decide
To turn back and change my mind
My moment has passed.
I marvel at how calm you look
Accepting compliments
Your enrapturing smile
Is something divine
I'd thought it was reserved just for me
For our secret get away time
In hushed giggles in our stairway nook.
But I guess you're just too good at performing
That I thought in you
I found my sense of belonging.
I put myself in your place once
Instantly my heart raced and my hands shook
How liberating it must be
I wonder
To live a life without censor
No fear of any blunder
Not having to think a dozen of times
Before raising your voice your mind
With daunting eloquence
No wonder you look heavenly
In your opalescence

I'm at the stage of life where it doesn't bother me anymore if I'm not in someone's pictures or stories.
The idea of being together is when that person needs someone and their mind reminds them of you.
