Best Stage Fright Poems

Sweaty palms
And a nervous stomach
Getting up in front of a crowd.
Everyone staring
Waiting and listening
For me to speak out loud.
Butterfly sensation
My voice begins to crack
And the words begin to flow.
I speak and talk
The truth comes out
I stand firm in the glow.
Confidence appears
Fright and worry die
Others judge...

Come out come out! Where ever you are!
Those of you hiding in the crowd know 
who you are.
Come out come out! wherever you are!
those of you scared to speak out loud 
in front of a crowd know who you are!
Those of you suffering from stage...

Counting imaginary sheep
Hoping to persuade my mind to sleep 
Anxious and terrified to step on stage, tomorrow,
Its three am and I'm already searching for courage
Fast forward freeze frame,
My stomach feels like there's a butterfly on flames,
Sweaty palms and salty saliva,
Really wishing I was only the...

A candlelight
A moonlight
A romantic set
A single heart

Give me laughter
I promise a forever after,
An unforgettable evening
And loneliness will be forgotten

A broken promise
A stolen kiss
A forbidden romance
A last dance

I’ll be your partner
I'm a novice, you too a beginner
Holding your hand through the tango and the waltz
Through life's...

my feet aching, body shaking, knees weakening

when I get up front 
I get attacked by my noble subconscious 

my self esteem is lower than my toe print 
I just hope it understands
that's ima stomp it down

In this big black abyss 
ideas roam free n wild

It's true that we're all actors, 
But the best of us don't know it;
The ones with glee and rage, 
who aren't afraid to show it,

But some of us were born, 
with consciences too small:
While watching others mourn, 
we feel nothing at all.

Without a doubt, we're...

Silence...


...Just wait...


Wait a couple seconds...no, really.

Just WAIT...


In the distance, 
a tremble of the air itself.
A subtle quiver of it's molecular structure.
A charge, causing your hair to come alive.

*CRACK* A singularity so vivid, so dazzling,
it blinds you,
forming indistinct bubbles in your vision.

Then another, farther away, not...

Sitting on stage
The glare of the audience immobilizes my every move
Is there a way this paralysis will soothe?
The lights suddenly blare
Like a deer bathed in headlights
How can I escape from this radiant bear?

The conductor baton rises into the soundless air
Sweating, stammering, shivering
Will this be my...

My sleep stages are Moon phases combing
my limbic system, where I touch electric chords 
singing my survival.

The words I compose dwell in privacy.
I blow the candles out after they are written.
And they wait, poised to be expressed.

But like a child in a nightmare,
I am naked...

Stagefright!

I take the mic, ready to start my set
I can just see their faces, the laughs that I’ll get
People still milling and taking their places
No empty seats, no empty spaces.

I’ve waited for years to get my shot.
Headlining this place, Finally! Top spot.
Ducking and diving I’ll...

She stood amidst the crowd
Cleared her throat,
Her mind as well.
Her fingers sweat, her knees shake,
Opened the question she earlier picked.
She read, her voice trembling,
"Do you believe in fairies? Kindly explain."
A laughter broke from the audience,
Cachinnated devilishly; 
filled the hall.
Her fear grew, slowly enveloping
Her eyes start...

On the stage,
Lights are blaring,
Crowds in a rage,
Everyone is staring;
Eyes are watering,
Lip is quivering,
Knees are buckling,
Thoughts keep racing;
Will I mess up?
Will I pass out?
Will I throw up?
There’s so much doubt;
What were the notes?
What were the words?
I just might choke,
My memories a blur;
The crowd is waiting,
To...

My character's poem!! Enjoy ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 


I can't stand it - 
I wanna stand up, but how?
I am full of anguish 
I have stage fright... 

I can't stand it...
I'm a bit scared...I'm unprepared...
I want to get rid of stage fright, but HOW? 

I might be late

Why does this light inside scare me?
I'll lock it down tight in the hopes to spare me
the separation.
I want to live from a higher vibration,
revelation and wonder,
but fear of isolation drags me under,
steals my thunder and dims the glow.
All this creation and nothing to show.
All...
