No longer shall I seek your presence,
No longer shall I yearn for you in secret,
For I have realized the illusion I have created,
Imagining a being that is not yet real.

No longer shall I search or chase you in my dreams,
Even if you haunt me day after day,
I shall find a way to escape this nightmare,
And find solace in freeing myself from this addiction.

We all fall ill for various reasons,
And sometimes for no reason at all,
I, too, am someone beyond ordinary,
Yearning for peace and tranquility.

I have no desire for challenges or adventures,
Though life holds many secrets to uncover,
But for one who has lost hope and all,
I seek safety until my departure from existence.

In the hopes that in the afterlife,
Someone, somewhere, will watch over me,
I've told you, one cannot hold on to a weary soul,
Be courageous and embrace reality or let me sleep in peace.

You possess the ability to play games,
But I have relinquished that capacity,
Am I giving up on you? Yes, I am.

The Rough Theatre

“The Rough theatre is something more experimental”. This means that we already have moved into a different type of theatre that Peter Brook has guided us into it from his book “The Empty Space”. In better words, this is a simpler form of theatre than the ones we studied before such as the deadly thatre and the holly theatre, what makes the rough theatre different than the obvious theatres is that “through the ages it has taken many forms, and there is only one factor that they all have in commonness--- a roughness”.   I would rather call it a vivid, noisy, lively, flexible, and very creative theatre.  You can touch and feel the real meaning of owning the space “The Stage” and being all comfortable with any new, quick changes in terms of plays, directors, and the actors themselves are more free with their expreissions but noticebly they are not limited as how we examined in the first two chapters.  In this type of theatres, you can easily see it’s not a complicated space

The Deadly Theatre

After reading and highlighting the important key  elements  of the “Empty Space” as how it’s referd on the book that was written by the author Peter Brook, I was bale to draw out an idea of what’s the definition of an empty space and  calling  it a bare stage as how it was mentioned in the text.  Then he  splinted  the word into four ways and distinguished what are the four different kinds of theatre. These types of theatre are: Deadly Theatre, a Holy Theatre, a Rough Theatre, and the fourth one was the an Immediate Theatre. In this chapter Peter Brook was to deliver a powerful indictment of deadly  theater  for us. In better words, he was able to identify and explain with such a  detailed  relevant sequence what is deadly theatre in terms of performances that are dull and boring, providing no transcendental experience or immediate encounter with truth and beauty. In his book, Brook has focused on several reasons why deadly  theater  happens and why it persists; and while I
