The Edition

All the camera lights on me,it was now or never The butterflies were swarming in my stomach And the taste of fear invaded my mouth Little drops of sweat ran down my neck Like I was a human slip and slide As the cameraman counted down 3 The knots in my stomach grow tighter 2 The lump in my throat grow larger 1 My mouth grows dry 0 And just like that I was tapping my first episode I chose every word meticulously I needed the support of the people The good words and faith of my family had given me rang in my ears So with no other choice I just went for it and made them remember me -Malaki Fleming(2016) Please Comment!
