Real Magic

I sat down

In my seat in the theater.

We waited for the show to start

With anticipation. I loved the book

And now it's on Broadway

And I couldn't wait.

The show started up, and I'm not a theater kid

I know nothing about acting at all,

But I

it. It was similar to the book. Only a few characters were off, 

In my opinion.

The boys

The beautiful

Boys

The main characters

Were

Perfect.

They were awkward and sweet

And their friendship

Came ALIVE onstage

Like I'd never seen before.

There was hugging in the script, I knew that

But it was so much more passionate.

The actors WERE the characters.

And those two boys

Bonded by rewinding time

By love

Were there for each other.

I felt the bond

Between them

As strong as anything.

The show put the words on a page into reality

Into life

Into the characters

And I was breathless.

It was

Undoubtedly

One of the greatest things I'd ever seen.

It made me believe

Magic is real.

    Beauty is

    Not hiding being a thick mask

    A thick layer that is not you.

    Beauty is

    Not wanting to be someone's doll

    Someone's plaything

    We are not here for decoration.

    Beauty is knowing what you want

  • A Study of Patience

    Don't force them; don't make fun of them.

    Take them places where they feel loved and safe,

    and watch them relax.

    Don't grab them or get frustrated with them; have patience.

    Wait for them to come to you.
