We’ve all been there.
We’ve all been there,
In that situation.

The lights seem radioactive,
Your clothes a little too tight,
And all those eyes.

They don’t mean to,
But they succeed anyway,
Boring holes in your skin.

They’re expecting something
Amazing,
Beautiful,
Spectacular.
What if you don’t give it to them?

What if it ends up
Not amazing,
Not beautiful,
Not spectacular?

It’s as if you’re standing on the high dive
For the first time.
The height is great.
Your legs quiver with fright.

But in the end,
You jump in.

So take the leap,
And get over
This stagefright.
