I stand anxiously behind the black curtain,
as I await my entrance to my domain.
I stride out with confidence, and determination.
My desire burns with excitment.
The light beams hot on my face,
to light up my passion, strength and weakness.
The words slide from my tongue with a profound grace.
My voice booms with power and emotion.
Standing on the stage that is my house,
I reach out and invite everyone in,
to experience the true reality of life.
I taste victory as I watch them cry, laugh and be amazed.
My emotional roller coaster of a performance,
comes to and end.
Just as powerful as it had begun.
The theater resounds with enjoyment.
My heart fills with accomplishment,
as I take my bows with my family.
Like a child,
I wait impatiently for the next ride.
