Katie
the butterflies beat their wings
as soon as i began to sing
even when i was done
i couldn’t say that it was fun
my face turned crimson red
there was a pounding in my head
the notes i’d hit went all wrong
i told her i couldn’t sing the song
my voice had wavered on the note
i sang louder to stay afloat
the teacher stood to say who
at that moment i knew
who he was about to call
who would rise above them all
alas it was not me
her name was katie
