Stage Fright
Thump. Thump.
I stand in complete darkness
Thump. Thump.
Waiting for the curtains to creep open.
Thump. Thump.
Knees Shaking
Thump. Thump.
Heart pounding
Thump Thump
Need oxygen
Thump
Fear.
Eternal.
Endless.
Fear.
Thump Thump Thump
A hand touches mine
And I am met with a smile
Thump. Thump.
The stage lights up.
Thump.
Thump.
Thump.
Breathe.
