It is the most amazing rush, it keeps me alive, it fuels my soul, it makes me dance, It burns my problems, it forms my future, it holds me when no one else will, it makes me smile, it lets me breath, its a different world that only few know, it is a journey, it is my voice, my eyes, my heartbeat, it is my home away from home...it is being on stage. It is the chills that I get, it is the butterflies in my stomach, it is the hair on the back of my neck, it is my dreams, my reality, it is my prayers, my hopes, my desire... It is being on stage. It is at times my only friend, it is my family, it is where I was born, it's my tears, my sorrow, my laughter, my comfort, it is my passion...It's being on stage. It is that place where I feel perfect, loved, hated and all thats in between, it is the seconds, the minutes and the hours that pass by, it is my life, it's the neverending struggle, it's the voice inside my head, it's the money I make, and the money I spend, It's my drive, it is the audience, the claps, the boos...It's being on stage. It's all of the support, the flowers, the reviews, it's all of the work behind it, the scripts, the lights, the curtain, it's "break legs" and "quiet in the wings", its the feeling in my bones, its the smiles, the frowns, the let downs, it's EVERYTHING...It's being on stage...
