I Am Poem

by Brian N.

I am behind the camera

I wonder what I will see

I hear myself shout “Action”

I see a scene before me

I want it to turn out well

I am behind the camera

I pretend not to be there

I feel confident about it

I touch the stop button

I worry if it will look good

I cry “Cut”

I am behind the camera

I understand directing

I say “pain is temporary, film lasts forever”

I dream of becoming a director

I try my hardest

I hope for a good result

I am behind the camera
