Feeling good

A poem.

That feeling when the blood is pumping

And you're hot and sweaty

But it's good. It feels good.

.

That feeling you know when you've said the right lines

and the camera disappears

It feels good. Really good.

.

When you've worked hard for results,

And "stubborned" your way through

You know it's good. It's really good.

.

And when everything falls into place

You walk out lighter.

That's what I want. I want to feel good.

.

Thinking of the giddiness and laughter

Laying in the grass

Zoom in on just us, always, our radiance unparalleled.

It's easier to be radiant with you.

And I feel good. So good.

.

I'll keep that feeling, like the lia-

Actor that I am.

I can summon emotion as I wish

Seek and find an audience in the silence and loneliness

I am my own relfection,

A reflection of them.

The sculptors don't know how to make me feel good.

They don't want me to feel good.

But I can. I will. I am.

I can feel good.

I will feel good.

I am feeling good.

And I'll stick to it.
