Welcome to the theater.
So you want to be an actor?
We'll see if you're a natural
or just a fine disaster.

Take the script you've memorized,
and please recite the text.
If you can read it without flaw,
then you'll see what's next.

Now that you have stumbled through,
make it all seem real.
Act is out so perfectly,
and you will get the deal.

I'd say there's a bit of a hidden meaning in this one.

&quot;You&#039;ve got to learn to move on, because life will move on. If you don&#039;t move on, you&#039;ll just end up in over your head.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Never regret anything because at the time, it was exactly what you wanted.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;We accept the love we think we deserve.&quot;
