The Awakening<\/strong><\/p>\n

I Like to
\nThink of It
\nLike This:<\/p>\n

You were Born
\nAn Actor.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ve Taken Classes
\nand Auditioned
\nand Played
\nEvery Part
\nOffered to You,<\/p>\n

but Never
\nThe Characters
\nYou Dreamed About.
\nAlways a Reason
\nThe Role was
\nMade for Someone Else.<\/p>\n

Even though
\nYou Read
\nThe Best Books,
\nPaid for
\nThe Best Teachers,
\nRehearsed Until
\nYour Mind was
\nSpinning and
\nYour Voice was
\nBreaking and<\/p>\n

You Wondered if
\nYou Needed
\nCounsel to
\nStop the Tears.<\/p>\n

Then One Day
\nA Call Came,
\nA Voice from
\nTheater of
\nThe Mystery.<\/p>\n

Whispering That
\nThe Role of a Lifetime
\nIs Waiting
\nFor You
\nto Finally
\nShow Up.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s Been Yours
\nSince
\nYour Birth.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s Called
\nThe Awakening.<\/p>\n
