Unapologetically in Character
Life’s a movie.
I live inside of a Disney musical.
I sing until my voice cracks.
It always seems to do that
At the climax of the song—
But that’s the cost of being a smoker.
I regret nothing cause at least I’m not
Broker than I was before.
I can’t ignore the theatre in my mind.
The dancing and singing…
Runs chills down my spine.
Playing a new character each time—
Stepping into the life of another.
Just for a moment…
Showcasing the point of view of others.
On stage, embodying someone else—
Creating a brand new me.
I live in a musical that never ends.
I belong on stage…
Here I transcend.

Oh yes, I relate to this so much. I have always loved Disney songs and movies.
Yes, I could turn any situation into a musical! We can never forget, we’re all still children deep down inside. Sing, dance, play, life is far too short to do anything otherwise.
