my performance
nervous and excited at the same timewaiting to go up on stage
and perform my reading to the people
my legs feel like jello
and my hands are shaking
a man appears on the stage
and reads my introduction
i walk shakily up the stairs of the stage
when i get to the microphone
the spotlight blinds me from seeing
all of those watching
i recite my poem and walk off of the stage
at first there is silence
but then the people join in
and i can hear a strong, steady applause
i smile to myself
proud of having a job well done
i sit back into my seat
and listen to the applause
for my well given performance
