Ready, Set, Action

I've made it to nowhere
With nothing in between
Living in a movie set
And I'm the lead of the scene

Take one, smile, real bright
More makeup to make it real
Real, HA! A smile from me?
This makeup will never conceal

Take two, laugh, real hard
Try not to make it sound forced
Too late, a real laugh won't do
No one laughs in the face of remorse

Take three, dance with enthusiasm
Embrace the thought of love
Love is stupid, love is blind
You push, they scream and shove

Take four, shout real loud
So that everyone here will know
Hold back those tears as you scream
Save your voice for the show

Take five, last take, we're through
We've succumb the things I need
And when we've done this last take
Go home, and let it bleed.

- Okay, basically this is just rambling. But I tried to make it have a plot, and a story to support it. [I didn't do a very good job of that, I know.] Anyways, it's about an actress on the set of a movie and they're filming and the director is telling her to smile, laugh, love, etc. but she's having a hard time with it, because ironically, she doesn't feel any of those emotions, and she doesn't smile or laugh, unless it's forced. The ending [Take five] simply states that when she goes home, she'll express the feelings she would have wanted to in the making of the video. -

hmmm. ha-ha. I'm really sorry about this piece.
