I Was So Nervous

Once I was asked to sing
I was so nervous 
the spoon on the table toppled 
I was so nervous
my nose fell off my face
I was so nervous
it was felt on the other side of the world
I was so nervous
california said
they felt the earth quake
I was so nervous
Alaska told
they had an avalanche
I was so nervous
BBC called
the world's best richter scale broke
I was so nervous
the dollar commited sucide
the stocks just collapsed
I was so nervous
the haunting spirits
and the ghosts had goosebumps
I was so nervous
before my turn
I hope the world would end.

-Ravi

Allan Koven September 19, 2013 at 5:00 PM Running from fear. Where does one go? Perhaps back to the beginning. The day when one started to believe he had little control and emotions took over. You described it well. Allan Ravi Kiran September 19, 2013 at 5:37 PM thank you very much. Fear becomes so overwhelming that we wish world to end before facing the trouble some times...
