I Am An Actor

I am an actor,
I stage all my scenes
I smile if the camera's on me.
I pretend to laugh..
And read my lines..
I am who you want me to be.
I wear a mask...
It is my shield...
I am a superstar you know.
I try to blend,
and fit in;
I try to be an average joe.
My script is written,
Well in advance;
Nothing sneeks up on me.
I prepare my lines...
and play my role...
I am who you want me to be.
I take my turn...
I walk in place..
The stage is really my home;
And when, alas,
The movies over..
I always leave alone.
I entertain others..
I lie and wait,
I listen for my next call.
The attention I get,
is my disguise.
It is my job...after all.
I am an actor
I stand in place
I smile and wave my hand
I fit in and do my best
I, am every man.

I am an actor
I stage all my scenes
I smile when the cameras on me
I pretend to love
And play my part...
I am who you want me to be.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
