Stage Fright


Sometimes while standing
before a crowd -
and God
my face feels like a red tomato
too ripe  
ready to split
but when I open my mouth to sing
I feel like a bird that burst from a pie
and it taste good

To get up in front of a crowd is something I never could do. I was always too shy for this. So, I understand your stage fright.

I'll bet "you" taste good!!!!! I've spoken and sang and performed in front of audiences for many years and don't think I'll ever be 100% comfortable. I say a litte prayer everytime I do this and it seems to help. Nicely written sweetie!

Oh, and one more thing dear, If you ever heard one of my "comedy" routines or heard me sing and play, you'd know why I'll never feel comfortable.....(by the way, sometimes my singing and playing the guitar is quite a comedy routine)....
