Carver Lawson, Special Projects Manager
I am a performer
Under a blinding light
On a stage for all to see.
Sadness and silence never entertains
But it is what I am filled with half the time,
And I’m overly aware of how all the audience members are glaring when I miss a cue or say my line funny,
And I can’t keep up with every costume change meant to please every kind of person
And all the eyes feel like daggers
And the lights are too bright I can’t think
And I can’t remember what steps comes next
And I don’t know if it’s a song or a monologue
And I keep fearing,
That I feel them getting bored of me.
