The Actor's vow

I WILL TAKE MY RIGHTFUL PLACE ON STAGE
AND I WILL BE MYSELF
I AM NOT A COSMIC ORPHANl
I HAVE NO REASON TO BE TIMID
I WILL RESPOND AS I FEEL; AWKWARDLY, VULGARLY
BUT RESPOND
I WILL HAVE MY THROAT OPEN
I WILL HAVE MY HEART OPEN
I WILL BE VULNERABLE
I MAY HAVE EVERYTHING & ANYTHING
THE WORLD HAS TO OFFER
BUT THE THING I NEED MOST
AND WANT MOST, IS TO BE MYSELF
I WILL ADMIT REJECTION, ADMIT PAIN, ADMIT SHAME
ADMIT OUTRAGE, ADMIT ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS TO ME
THE BEST AND MOST HUMAN PARTS OF ME ARE
THOSE I HAVE INHABITED AND HIDDEN FROM THE WORLD
I WILL WORK ON IT
I WILL RAISE MY VOICE
I WILL BE HEARD
