In from of a roaring crowd
Eyes on you thinking of what to say
The moment has come
Stand center stage
You've always performed
The crowd is more than imagined
Focus on the routine
Get a laugh is rewarding
Silence eats you inside out
Worked hard for this moment
Audience clapping and applauding efforts
Watch you pace focused on the sketch
Worried what others think
You feel the pressure good or bad
On stage makes you feel new
Off stage the critic feast on your performance
Some give you credit
Others make you feel you need work
Back to work be better next time
