This is very motivational and a get it together kind of poem! It seems like a poem that one puts on their dressing room mirror to get revved up for an audition or a performance. You can do it! Yay! Yet it is also very vulnerable expressing a real teenage struggle of not feeling self-worth. A lot of actors and performers who have struggled with such feelings often go into showbiz for this reason. However, it doesn't matter how popular they become, it doesn't take away that pain. I think of Marilyn Monroe who could not handle aging or all the celebrities who are in and out of treatment centers such as Britney Spears. I think we have to develop some sense of inner self-worth to truly find happiness. No amount of clapping can compensate for the empty feelings one feels towards oneself. And yet performing can be such a testament of one's abilities to move and inspire which is the natural proclivity of the actor, dancer, musician,etc. - how fun and exciting! Overall, the poem comes across like a refreshing splash of cool water to wake up to one's great potential!
