Today
Though I am sick,
And very very tired,
And I have so much to do,
And I didn't do my homework for class,
And I look like crap...
I will get my ass off the couch,
Say "good-bye" to the family before dinner's over,
And take my runny nose
my grouchy attitude,
my cough,
my grumbling stomach,
And my wandering mind...
To acting class!
Because I'm an artist,
Because this career chose me,
Because I've got a God-given gift
Of love for the stage,
Because it's the only way to realize my goals,
Because everybody there understands me,
And because I am a star.
I'm tougher than any damn virus
And any peer pressure,
And the voices around me
And within me,
Which tell me not to bother,
That it's not a "real" goal or a "real" job,
Because I can do this
And I will do this -
Bring it on,
And watch me shine!
