My Theater Class

This is pretty much how every theater class has been for me since I got into college

When I’m with all these people

It’s the only time I smile

Where I can abandon my troubles

For at least a little while

 

Here I can be myself

Yet I am required to be someone new

Not that I have a problem with that

This place is like a really fun zoo

 

We have funny guys

We have beautiful women

Each giving off so much energy

Like a fired up engine

 

Our teacher is wise

And she is more than fair

She flies to the stars and heavens

Despite being in a wheelchair

 

Everyone is so supportive

Always encouraging you to go on

To push beyond your limits

Even once the class is gone

 

When the class ends

I end up very sad

I want to hug everyone

They’re the family I never had
