One Job

Location

My mother asks why I'd want to be an actor.

I don't want, I need.

Need - Feel - Crave - Must

It's a have to, not a want to.

She says I won't amount to much

Without a paper from a four-year

That may be true.

But I wonder if I had just

One Job

One chance, one role, one person to believe in me.

Believe.

In ME

That One Job could be better than that One Paper

To what degree can I rely on a degree?

I'd rather have the chance to show you-tell you-change you- convince you...

One Job

It's all I need.
