[Act I scene 1 a soliloquy for octpowrimo]
If I were me I'd have to see some I.D.
The stranger in the .mirror with tired eyes
I am an actor on a stage
I am shapeshifter for the scene
I am a chameleon switch at will
I don't know what's real or an affectation
I've lost my self in my self with every role
I am a christian but I don't preach
I am a husband but I like to look
I am a loved son but disobedient
I am me
Who ever
That may be now
Who knows
I suppose it's time to be honest with myself
To recognize that I've played games before
I can begin to create who I want me to be
I will be a harder worker not wanting to cheat time I will be
A better lover listen with my heart I will be a busker plan and go
I am an actor a chameleon a shapeshifter
I have the skills to be the one who chooses
My wife my family my friends and my God
That is all that matters
That is all that i need
That is all that I want
That is all that I give
That is all that I have
No one will be my director again
No one will write that script
I am the author
I am the actor
I am
Me
This is a shape poem about me and being an actor. The shape is meant to represent the classic theater masks of comedy and tragedy.
