Escape

Open your mind. 
Wipe everything away. 
Start a new life, even if its for 
a few seconds. 
Become a character. 
Mold it to your life.
Soon, it's an escape.
A wonderful, marvellous, 
magical escape. 
Where you can take another 
look at the choices you're 
making. 
The things that you once 
thought were horrid, and worth 
worrying over,
Suddenly seem so petty and 
worthless. 
There is no need for 
substances. 
Theatre becomes your drug. 
You have so many people who 
support you in everything you 
do. 
You are never alone. 
The love you feel for your cast 
mates, your family, is 
unconditional.  
Once you have entered the 
theatre, there is no going 
back. 
You're in it for life. 
Your in love,
And you couldn't be happier.
