Darkness
A deep breath
Drops of sweat fall from my brow Eyes closed
Silence
Soft light
Warming glow
Heat radiating from above Staring at my feet
White noise
Spotlight
Blinding glare
Feet moving through rehearsed steps All eyes on me
Chatter
Fading
Silhouettes in motion Judgement forming in minds A curtain call
Applause
Darkness
A deep breath
Drops of tears fall from my eyes Eyes close
Silence
