What Ticks


What makes me tick? What makes me tick?

Lack of love for theatre makes me tick

Why don't people like theatre?

Yet they want entertainment

Amusement

And something worthwhile?

The theatre makes you laugh

Makes you cry

Makes you angry

Leaves you wanting for more

Not appreciating theatre is like not appreciating life

For people who risk their lives on stage every day 

Trying to put on a performance for the joy of people

How can you not like theatre? 

That's what makes me tick

My name is Cherval Royster. I'm not really a person who is fond of poetry but I will find very select poems that make me think about the world differently or just enjoy reading it. I love to read, write, act, publish, direct, and perform any kind of acting or novels. My dream is to be on Broadway in any kind of show and/or write a successful play or musical to be performed on Broadway.
