Stage Fright


Lights! Camra! Action!

seize,

glare at the crowd

heart begins to pound

breath

one breath but no air

no lines or director

just you there

and your ears grow deaf

and only the silence is left

but broken by the sound of the crowed

 upset, bored, and loud!

you find your ears

rushing into the birrage of booo's

the curtins shut.

you versus the stage, you loose

but this isnt the end and the show must go on!

break through the curtains

and let out a wonderful sound

and then the beat drops and the music plays 

the lines come to your head

hypnotizing the crowd, leaveing them shocked and dazed

boom!Pow! Hit!

Click!Click! Click!

and your feet carry you to the noise

your possessed and poised

a flip, a bow, then the crowd makes some noise.

flowers fall with the sound of "encores"

stage fright is a shadow

but reality only hits the floor.
