Split Decisions
Sixty seconds till open curtain
Everyone will laugh I just know it
I should leave before it comes to this
Right?
Why reveal myself if I know I won't be accepted
Wrong
I'm going to be me, and they're going to accept it
Except it's
Forty five more seconds
and I feel the top of my brow sweating
"She's ugly; Boo get off the stage, you suck"
I know that is what they're gonna be saying
But they might say
"Hey, she's great; Yes girl keep on going!"
I smile for a second
Then realize it's only 30 more seconds
And my heart races even more than before
That's it
I quit
Before they reject me, embarrass me, or make me feel ashamed
The curtains aren't open yet no one has to know I even came
But wait...
How can I be afraid of what hasn't happened
I can't hide forever
Fifteen seconds to go
I gotta go; No!
You have a show
Show them you're worth the wait
Ten seconds
I can run, but what will it prove
I am strong, passionate, and loving
They're lucky to be in my presence
And with these last five seconds
I'll stand tall and smile
The curtains open and look into the crowd
"This is me, I love me, and I love you all too"
No rejection or embarrassment, they love me too
How can I tell?
Can't you hear the applause roaring throughout the room?
