Here I stand, front and center stage, bright lights shining down on me.
Hands shaking, heart in my hands, I step up to the mic and take my place.
People, people, people, far as the eye can see
Is the image that greets me. I take a deep breath, and try not to show on my face
The fear that I feel in my heart. I hear the first note and know that this is it.
This is my moment to make it or break it, and I want with every fiber of my being
To make it. With one final breath, I open my mouth, begging my voice to hit
The notes and not give out on me. Though my mind is telling me I should be fleeing,
My heart is lost in the song. I close my eyes and let the music cover me
And wash my worries away.
