Get Behind The Scenes! Poem by Doreenda Nikoi Kotei

Get behind the scenes!
It is your place of nurturing,
Your place of everyday learning,
Your place of continuous practice, rehearsal and correcting mistakes.
The longer your stay there, the better off you become!

Stay behind the scenes!
And watch what's really happening on the stage,
Study what the champions are doing now,
And find other ways it can be done,
Be on your guard, train yourself now and make the most while there,
For in no time, you'll be the one on that same stage too!

Be behind the scenes!
Never rush yourself through the process,
Go over your dashboard over and over again,
Take time to polish up till you've gain mastery,
It's okay to fail and keep failing there until you're perfect.
For you'll be the next in line for the applause and cheer of your audience!

Enjoy your time while behind the scenes!
Never struggle to seek attention or compete to be heard,
Have patience, your time will certainly come!
Don't waste your time to enjoy distractions: get busy, get focused.
Life will always give you a chance to be before the world. Get ready now!

You'll be unveiled from behind the scenes!
With the whole world expecting so much from you,
Your unveiling is your mount of glory, honour and praise,
It is your place of recognition, reward and fame,
It is the appreciation for your sacrifice, hard work and excellence,
It is an expression to silent your critics and the satisfaction for your good works,
And the brightness of your star in the world.
Get behind the scenes now, the world awaits to unveil you!
