Stage Fright
May 13, 2014
My stomach lies in knots
Fingernails bitten till they bled
Heart pounding in my chest
All I want is to rest
To give my racing pulse a chance to slow
But I know
I have no chose but to wait
Till all eyes are on me
While I stand there wanting to flee
Hands forced into submission at my sides
Knees locked so you won’t see me shake
But deep down inside my body is screaming
Fantasying about flying out the door
Want no more
Of your attention
The time is near
My last chance
Yet I take my stance
Up in front
And my words begin their flow
