Dreaming an Acting Dream

"All the world's a stage," Macbeth said, 

And maybe I believe him.

But not with his despair and dread. 

Here's my "going on a limb."

I find stories in the darkness,

Meaning behind fake smiling,

Understanding in deep sadness, 

And truth in tragic endings. 

Yet, in this reality,

Acting truly inspires me.

Motion pictures paint big dreams, 

More than just fading "make-believes." 

I am a visionary,

Passing the negativity,

Chasing my chance on the screen

To make acting real to me.
