The Exit Sign...


From where you stand,
All you see is the exit sign,
It’s quite dark
And you hear people clapping around…

It’s quite unnerving at first,
U can barely hear your own voice,
In the roar of all clapping,
And the people around…

And then they call your name,
They call you from every corner,
They say just do it again,
And cheer your every denial…

And then the light comes up,
The drum roll sets in motion,
You do one last jump in air
Before your hit the ground…

The crowd gets louder,
As you soar up in the air,
The clapping more ferocious,
As they see you burst to flames,

The light’s going out now,
They say the show is over,
It’s just you now,
Standing in the empty theater,
And as you raise your face,
Look up to the other side,
All you see is the dark room,
All you see is the exit sign…

  1. Most of us do not mind exit signs that much. We see them every day, but pay no attention to them. For some people, these signs are important.
