A captivating melody, soaring notes,
It all results in sore throats,
An enthralling beat and dancing feet,
Claps and cheers,
My fears and the audiences numb ears,
I cant sing!
In the silence I open my lips,
But my song is full of trips and blips,
My voice is croaky, hoarse,
My humiliation for a lost cause,
An audience stare open mouthed,
Shock and horror resonating through the crowd,
I cant sing!
The microphone hasn't broken yet,
But I am willing to bet,
That soon it will not be able to stand my screeches and moans,
No more howls and cries- it will not condone,
The fact that... I cant sing!
Then it happens out of the blue,
I blink twice to check the vision is true,
People clapping, cheering me on,
Calling out for "one more song!"
Maybe I can sing...
