Stage Fright



The air was buzzing, 
Humid and thick.
Disorientating flashes of light,
Gusts of chilly wind.

"We would now like to invite our guest speaker to come on stage!"

Droning claps in a distance,
Inability to stand.
Features deep set,
Starts to feel afraid.

"Mr ___! Would you please join us on stage?!"

Out of options,
No way out.
Heart pounding,
Don't pass out.

"Let's give  a round of applause for Mr ____!"

Breathing heavily,
Dragging un-cooperative feet.
Numbed fingers,
A cold blank stare.


Erratic Behaviour
