POEM:The Understudy

I’m mad at her I really shouldn’t be

Because she doesn’t….. even know me

So imma introduce myself to the one whose playing the

Understudy of myself

 I was the one who stood by his side

When he got in trouble I was down for the ride

The money never mattered to me

Because materials from him I didn’t want or need

 I must admit I’m mad at her she gets to reap the benefits

Of what I thought for years I had earned

You see the understudy’s never have to work hard

But what they don’t realize for a lil’ while they

Will only be filling in for my part

I must admit I admire her game

But don’t get it twisted

That part that she plays

Never seems to remain

The understudy’s make me laugh

Thinking that they got him

In their bag

Come on now you can’t really believe

That the thirty minutes you put in

Won you him

From me

I was here before you

And I will be here after you

Because remember.... you are just an understudy

Who  hasn’t put her work in

When the smoke clears

And dust rises

Like a shoe… I’m back in

I’m sure that by then you

Will realize that

You were just a fill in

The star of the show is back in

Good luck with finding a new role

Don’t get it twisted you will never steal this lead role

Remember you are just an understudy

And I’m the star of the show

And because of that being reality

 I’m not so mad anymore
