The Dreams of a Creative Life
by @lynette-chiamaka-okoroike
Ever since I was little,
I always wanted to be a performer.
Singing, acting, playing a musical instrument,
I wanted to do this profession for the rest of my life.
So I put this creative dream into action,
by going to auditions for roles in the theatrical productions,
competing in national and international music competitions,
performing in talent shows, school/community plays,
family event gatherings, school commencement ceremonies, etc.
I am doing just about everything
to get my foot in the door
that opens
to the world of
the entertainment industry.
I tried to open that door
several times!
But the door itself
wouldn’t budge.
It was closed
and locked shut.
My dreams of a creative, artistic,
and entertaining life
will be……
just a dream that won’t come true.
