| Stage Fright | ||||
| It's sweet here, and bliss binds me to the song, and I have no fears. I can't wait to sing, to smile, to be free. The stage is calling me again, whispering my name. I belong here with the hard wood and the microphone. To sing is to paint, to dance, to be free. So I'll walk on the stage and feel only joy. Yet I hear a whisper in the crowd. I hear a boom, no not a boom, a boo. It's pounding through my heart, through my head, and I fear my eyes don't decive me. Tears fall like rain and I run for the shelter of kind words. The loud boom is gone but I know I will never return to the stage agian. I'll cry once more for my loss, but I will not forget, for I am only ten and life will continue to dissapoint me. Goodbye my love, my stage, I'll miss you. |
