For The First Time
For The First Time
That unsettling feeling
In the pit of your stomach
Not close to tingling
But enough for a brave act
That you are okay and everything is fine;
You know the truth: Nothing seems divine.
Hands vigorously shaking
Showing you are nervous
Well, you're actually freaking
Leading your heart to chant prayers.
What for, really?
It's nothing but fear
Of seeing the auditorium crowd
Where she took up oratory,
For the very first time in life,
A speech on Stage Fear.
