The Stage

To stand on the stage
Look for eyes of approval
Mature at the proper age
Some say the world is a stage

Competition can be extreme
There is no simple method
Demands and hardships each day
This is the price you must pay

Lights will shine brightly on you
Makeup will not hide your face
Apprehension builds inside
Possibly a life in the theater just died

Joe Dimino Date: 1/10/2023 4:06:00 AM Well said. It must be terrifying...though most the audience can see beyond the slop, harking more to the honesty and bravery exhibited. I let fear crucify my heart for many years. Better to fail than fear. Hang in there. Joe.
