I'm a..


I'm a 16 year old boy 

high school junior 

I work with a stage and microphones 

sometimes with other people 

there is usually an audience watching me 

gold shines all over my body 

imagination rings my ears

butterflies explode from me 

smiles are lined across the floor

im a performer 

a performer that has it tough

no one will ever know what he has to go through

everydays judgment and competition

...he's a human

<p>Life is bumpy . I just chose to find the light of it. I hope you readers relate to my poem, you don't have to be an actor to know what it feels like to have a lack of support from important people. God bless&nbsp;</p>
