A Perfect View

I plant my feet into the ground

as every girl behind me 

pushes me against the barricade

As if there is a $2 million cash prize

on the other side of the barricade. 

Thousands of people screaming

Hoping to be noticed 

by their favorite band. 

They scream because 

the most popular song comes on, 

and they immediately sing along.

I scream because 

I know the band brings up fans

Onto the stage 

during that song.

I jump so high 

like a basketball player

because I know 

I'm going to get picked.

Suddenly.. 

The lead singer picks me.

I am going on stage.

My view from the stage 

is an unexplicable view.

I see thousands of people

Staring at the same place.

The stage.

Helping my favorite band

perform their song 

has effected my life

more and more

each of the nine times 

that I was given 

the opportunity.
