In My Head

To Those Back Stage

Don't see me, don't say hi

Forget who I am, I don't know why

Ignore my presence like I don't exist

For I am 'backstage', no more than this

Is it not me who made the set?

Who hasn't been allowed to shine yet?

Is it not I who starts the show?

Who waits for you to be ready to go?

But because I'm backstage you don't hear me speak

Yes, I am backstage. But does that make me weak?

Ignore my presence like I don't exist

For I am backstage and no more than this

To those editors, producers, and assistants who yern

Keep on waiting for your special turn

To those in the front give others a chance

To gather bravery and take a stand

To those in front, don't forget the back

Those are the ones who pick up your slack

To those in the back, you will see

That it works well when there's unity
