“I Believed” is a poem about my relationship with theater and my beliefs. They have changed over the year, but one thing remains true the stage is part of me.
I don't think I ever truly believed; not in what was given to me, not in what I once chose. No I don't think I ever truly believed in Wicca, in paganism. No I didn't believe in the magic of nature; not fully, not until I saw a creator. What I truly believe in was the stage. The lights and sound. I truly and fully believed in the magic of theatre, the constructed fantasies. I truly believed in standing tall and giving it my all, shedding reality showing my soul with words written, but not my own. Yes,I believed in the stage, but confusion of a new life, in the growing to be an adult. I forgot. I turned from my first love as though a choice had to be made, as though it was the Creator or the stage. Not realizing the creator made me for the stage. Not realzing that all of me deserves to breathe. Now I believe There is a Creator up above, who smiles and loves when I take the stage and am all of me. Now I believe in all of me.
