Lights! Camera! Action!

sunshine
bright lights
they all look the same
spotlight
stage
my home away from home
a song in my throat
sorrow surrounding my heart
the mic 
is my only comfort
when i open my mouth
and sing those familiar melodies
all fears leave
spotlight on me
like Tupac
all eyes on me
not a rapper 
but my rhymes 
and lyrics will have you hype
never put you to sleep
bright lights
sunshine
they all look the same

Interesting thoughts that you have penned today in this one...To be on stage reading your work to an audience would be a triumph...Keep the creative pen flowing..Sara
