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!
