I take a breath in,
Feel my lungs fill with air.
"Don't worry darling,
I'm just over there."
It's hard to bear this,
This feeling of dread.
I yawn, eyes well,
Tired from tossing in bed.
"Take the spot over there,
Just there centre stage,
So you can see everyone
And their reaction gauge."
The curtain rises up,
I really need mum,
I shudder slightly,
When will bravery come?
I fear never and I,
will always be this way.
And hope I'll be ill
For the next school play!
