"The world's a stage and each must play a part."

When on the stage, when trying out for stage plays, I always seem to get the part of the witch. I was the Witch in Beauty and the Beast, and I got the part of the witch in The Wizard of Oz. Does this reflect what others think of me in real life I wonder? What is my role in real life?

I don't think I'm the star, I don't think I could ever be the star in real life or even on the stage. But I don't think it's correct to limit myself to just one role, as I play many different roles depending on the situation, the day, my mood, and so on.

Sometimes I'm the supporting role... other times I'm the one with all the drama. Sometimes I'm the comic relief, others I'm the wicked Bitch of the west.

In my life, I play the unsure femme. I play the insecure girl. I play the independent free-thinking chick. I play the Victorian coqet. I play the mainstream girl. I play the shy ballerina. I play the down to earth witch. I play the jealous wench that doesn't deserve love. I play the angry bitch that everyone just loves to hate. I play the jester who always loves to put smiles on peoples faces. I play the unique out there girl. I play the center of attention freak. I play a feminist. I play the nymphomaniac. I play the self-loathing nut case. I play me.

I am a daughter, sister, friend, reliable lover. My part is to support and encourage family, friends, and my beloved, and cheer for them when they accomplish their dreams. My own dreams are unimportant. I am in the background reassuring and bolstering egos and offering great ideas and boosting production.

I am both on the stage, and behind the stage... and a lot of times I wish I was the audience... but we can't choose our own roles now, can we?
