The Soloist

The soloist is always alone.
on the stage,
the lights beat down
on one person,
who's presence
fills the stage.

The soloist
must bare through
the bad reviews
and nasty critics,
without a group of friends
to support them
and cheer them up.

The soloist,
one person,
alone,
sits solitarily
behind the stage.

The soloist
flys solo
for all of eternity.
