Opening Night
There was a quiver of fear,
of failure and of terror.
The audience was out there,
waiting like a lion, silent,
eyes glittering in anticipation.
A thin veil seperates us,
reality and safety,
two different things.
Taking deep breaths, calming
my very soul, flighty as it is.
And then I take the plunge
into the known unknown.
For a moment, my heart stops;
I feel completely faint.
I am going to die, I know it;
This entire thing was a mistake.
And then I open my mouth
and so begins the play.
