A Play within A Play

I, another spectating spore
Amid this sea of applauding roar
For the grand curtain has drawn
That mythical world flashed gone
How I wish to my reality, it progress
Sick of this perpetual forced egress
Like a droplet on a seawave's crest
The ocean summon, their play I belong
Born and bound to sing their song
But mind, my own, that world i longed
While I dread... while I dread
A trace of reason struck my head
O Man O Man! How did I not see,
That world cannot live without the sea
O Man O Man! How did I not see,
It has become a part of me
And all that we do or did
Is but a play within a play
   for a play within a play

inspired by Edgar Allan Poe's A Dream within a Dream structure, written with a realist twist.
