Academy Award

[Lightning Rod]

I knew she was a good actress
but she was a better actress than I knew
could make you believe an orgasm
laugh at your jokes on cue

down deep she didn't believe herself
she knew it was all an act
Emmys, the Globe, an Academy Award
wouldn't replace the things she lacked

she could fake humility and mime civility
the nicest person that you ever met
but backstage the makeup comes off
and what you see is what you get
