I Think I Can Act

I think I can act…
Tonight I stood on the stage
Wearing the mask of confidence
Easily memorized words flowing from my mouth.
I was no longer me, rather,
I was the character who’s life I stepped inside.
They laughed at all my jokes and thought
A great deal of our show.
I think I can act.
I always knew I could
But never before have I reached
This endless sky of infinitely and zero limits.
I was alive pretending to be another person.
I think I can act
And I think it may be my honesty.
