how does one stop acting?

the guilt of deception

what a foolish man to build his house on the sand.

how irresponsible

to be more scared of the truth

than the rain.

is it worse to see you’re no one 

or maybe discover that all along

you were exactly who you thought?

so you settle, like always

fraud is your identity

you are an actor and very little more

like a lost man at sea

only that, until he reaches shore.

-“how does one stop acting?”, me so pls tell me if this is bad

Every science student has a little bit of Victor Frankenstein energy where they want to play god; and every law student has a bit of Raskolnikov energy where they think they're smart enough to commit the perfect crime. Economics students are just straight up Lord Henry from the picture of Dorian Gray. Literature students are the ones writing this post.

The thing is, people in movies always summon Satan in Latin. Does this mean Satan is a classicist yes or no
