The Rush of Performing

As I stand on the big, broad stage

My heart full of emotions like the words on a page

I stare into the dark and filled crowd

Not knowing where to look, other than when I bow

Finally coming true, the place I want to be

I tremble with soul, my dream before me

As the curtains open, and the audience awaits

I just have to remember I have a clean slate

I must impress, influence, and inspire

For the critics decide my fate and desires

I take my place before their hands

Wondering if they will be a fan

As I perform with heart

Attatched at part

Expression with ambition

On a new act tradition

During the play

In which I will not stray

The goal I seek

​Is soon in reach

The end is coming

My heart is humming

The applause for me

Must be meant to be

Like I said before

Performing is in my core

Resuming when I am asked, which should be next fall

For now I am finished, with the assigned and aspired job.
