Shaky and nervous
Don't stutter don't stutter
Bright lights
Oh please don't stutter
Don't stumble
breathe
breathe
just breathe
mouth open and then closed again
false start
breathe
flying
falling
roller coaster
Cliff edge*
jump
Oh, don't get sick
No, not now
Deep breath
The words just wont come out
Eyes
so many eyes
All looking, all wondering
Have to start
Words
Words racing
Breathe
Read
Passion
Calm
Seemingly collected
Head spinning
Too fast?
Too slow?
Please don't stutter
Deep breath
Done
Silence
The eyes seem to have drifted else where
Maybe they never were really there at all
*They couldn't care less.
