Question:my friend is a VERY talented poet please comment on one of her new poems

i hide in the bright white spotlight
i hold myself together with the mask
i always hold up; life's just one great masquerade
you don't see me, but we dance.
i am an actress, but am i real?
i won't allow how i really feel.
i am the character, you can't bother me
i'm blind to all offstage.
romeo, you can call me juliet.
your love has left me broken
and with this dagger i declare
the words i've left unspoken
i'll take my life here on the stage
so i won't want to tonight.
smile for the camera
say everything's alright

Gorgeous... i am in awe. I like how she says she "holds herself together with the mask" and how "life is just one big masquerade". She made that fit together perfectly. She is indeed very talented.

Nice, I like it.

its really good but it would be better if it rhymed..thts just my opinion

i like the first half and the way it starts out. i guess the romeo/juliet isnt my thing, i never read it. but i like it overall. keep writing! share more!
