Poem in "Every Last Word"
As If by Abigail
Shy, insecure,
afraid to speak up?
"Act as if," they say.
Act as if you're not.
Stand tall when you walk.
Project your voice when you talk.
Raise your hand in class.
Act as if.
Speak your mind. Cut your hair.
Be the part. Look the part.
You can do this.
Act as if.
If you really knew me,
If you could see inside,
You'd find shy and insecure and afraid.
Acting as if.
Ironic, isn't it?
The only time I'm not
Acting "as if"?
When I'm on a stage.
