Up
on stage
all lights and eyes
on me and me alone
Bare myself, my soul
Choose me
my quiet heart voice whispers
Thank you, next
Callbacks
Pitter-patter, hope
List is up
When
I was lazy
I thought I was as good as I could get
I was weak
I was strong
I was motivated
I was not
“No”
The day of auditions, I was calm.
I didn’t fret, I didn’t freak.
And every time I saw someone who was losing their mind,
I went up to them, and said calmly,
“Repeat after me.
She stands there quietly
Trying to fight down the fear
She’s next in line, next to audition
Hoping she makes it to the end
She’s biting her lip, worried she’ll forget
A single word or a whole line
