Raw Role

Raw Role
I wasn’t born an actor
I was born into the world
Full of characters…
And i automatically pick’d up
My role
Ever since, i have been trying to
Learn my lines
To fit on the gland world stage
Along the way, i became
A copy cat
Forgetting that…
Each line for a different
Character,
Was perfectly crafted and
Scripted for them
And an award waits
Each…
Indeed, i can never doubt
That
My story lines too
Where written for me
By the greatest script
Writer and my
Director….
Though i wanted to
Replace him
With a copy-cat
I am stopped by
The words
CUT, CUT, ACTION
Wrong steps, i make
Back in line
