Audition
February 12, 2024
The first time I auditioned for a play
I was ten.
Butterflies danced in my stomach.
Hesitant and weighed down with an enormous script.
Nylon carpet beneath my feet,
A solar system dangling above me.
Walking.
Next to me was my mother, assuring me.
As I walked towards the auditorium
My mouth bitter and dry as a desert.
My mouth is a desert.
Antique school smell traveling through the vents.
Adults practicing dialogues and introducing themselves.
The spotlights burned bright like the sun.
I turned to my scenario partner
And recited my lines.

The thing that inspired me to make this poem is my passion for acting and how my passion for acting started, thats how I came up with the idea to make the poem about my first audition. I hope the message people will get from this poem is that you should try new things and all big things start from something small.
