Under the lights
I feel
every breath
leave me.
every nervous twitch,
every tickle
as the sweat drips
a trickle
down my face.
I feel
the adrenaline
coursing through
the bloodstream
I feel pulsing
through my veins.
It’s like
I am naked,
every emotion
on show for all
to see,
from love and horror
to hurt and pain
via endless seas
and tearful rain
and then back again
to everyone
staring at me.
Every aspect of me
is open wide
But I stand
with pride,
my smile
doesn't hide
behind the memories
I share,
the stories
I let collide
with the air.
I laugh
at my mistakes,
I fumble lines
and quickly regain my
stride.
Here with my
poetic family
nothing could ever
sully the ride
or stem the tide.
Under these lights
I am alive.
Under these lights
I shine, I glide
on the floorboards
beneath my feet.
I feel the heat
from the glaring bulbs.
I feel my heart is full.
This high has got me
so that I never want the
comedown.
I share what
makes my story unique,
the sides you don’t always see.
All that makes me.
And as I reach the end
I take a bow
and say thank you
to the crowd
and then I listen
to every story
that greets me.
So proud of all that
step under the lights and
shout their words loud.
