Lose Yourself


Look. If you had one shot, one opportunity 
To seize everything you ever wanted, one moment 
Would you capture it? 
Or just let it slip? Yo. 

- 10-year old rapping Eminem's song from 8-mile before the obstacle course at Wednesday's improv class. He then continued to rap the entire next verse before I asked him if he was ready to race.

His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy 
There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti 
He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready 
To drop bombs, but he keeps on forgetting 
What he wrote down, the whole crowd grows so loud 
He opens his mouth, but the words won't come out 
He's chokin' how, everybody's chokin' now, 
The clock's run out, times up, over, blaw!
