Speechless

one breath of air, gives you a start to speak your mind; but a hesitant feeling has made you absurd of the thought to hear your voice. this is stupid you think as your hands begin to quake on the half blocking wood stand, how is this not simple to say a few lines that are being displayed right in front of you. there are too many faces searching yours and their eyes are beginning to blend; a giant mass of a paused question looking at you for your known unspoken answer. o trembling you are now, for you did not know you had such a fear of this; there you stand mouth-less in front of everyone, that knows you should be speaking.

Yeah, reminds me of that first encounter with stage fright. It was such a rush "powering" through. I like this piece....it was well put.
