Soliloquy

You talk, but all I hear is you have nothing to say.
I'm just trying to make myself into a person I don't hate.
Fumbling for a character when all the world's a stage.
Shrieking at an audience deafened by cliches.

You, really deserve it. I am 60 years old and a theatre director in Toronto Canada. I have two daughters one twenty two years old and one nineteen years old. My 22 year old daughter writes as well. She is drop dead gorgeous and smart and is one of the kindest people I know. I am sure you would like her. My point is I have a lot of background in recognizing talent. Because of my daughters I am very in tune to the young market. What they like. I started in theatre at 9 yrs old. You are talented.

That is terrific Jessica. You can be everything that you are a writer a doctor. Albert Einstein was an excellent writer. I am sure you already know.

Very nice!! That's interesting to know! Yes, your daughters are my age, I just turned 21. I always thought I'd be a writer, but then I fell philosophically in love with science. Now I am a senior Biochemist and will be heading to med school next year. I am glad to be back on Poetrysoup with the creative people. :)

Well thank god you're writing again. What a waste it would be for you not to write. Your are by my rules required to share your talent with the world.

Why did the rap verse not go well Jessica? Or at least I mean what happened or what makes you say that?

It turns out that I can't rap. :) Hip-hop inspired me to start writing again.

This is a beauty, a lot said in four sentences. I am a theatre director so the classic Shakespeare "all the world..." line reads a bell for me. Excellent use in this context.

Correction, I meant to say "rings a bell for me"

Neat!! This was initially my first attempt at a rap verse, but that didn't go so well :)
