The Stage

*This was meant to be a series*
*Apparently its not meant to be*

I open my eyes looking at the people below me....
The directors and producers, looking at me as I weave my magic...
The door at the far corner of the room opens and in struts another man fit for the stage....
He looks a real competitor for my spot....
Ignoring the brute, I finish my scene with a neat bow.
I slowly walked off the stage, the fella who just came in chatting cheerily with the producers....
I used to be able to talk to them like that...
Back then I was on great terms with the producers....
But I went after another film company...
But turns out, the company didn't want me...
That gave me a huge blow in confidence...
The producers still gladly welcomed me back...
And then this fella shows up....

At first he wasn't much of a threat coming from the shadows...
But then, I injured myself....
With me out for a few weeks, the producers decided to let the new kid try out....
I've been getting less and less stage time ever since....
My opponent has also been trying to get me off the stage....
And so I've come to the dilemma of thinking whether I should give up on this company and hope another shows up....

At first it was all crazy talk to me...
But then my eyes gradually opened wider....
The producers weren't really interested in me anymore...
If it was up to them I might as well have been a stage prop...
Well, that's what I felt like anyway...
Still confident that I had a part to play in their plans I decided to stay...
But that was all that happened....
Few days later, they change the main character from me to the new guy....
That pretty much said it all.....
I have nowhere to go....
And so, I'll just stay here.
Hoping for another chance.
