It really isn’t that hard.

Everything is laid out.

You know what is expected of you.

And yet, it really seems to be.


So much more than the work.

Moving from one room to another,

you never know what the next will bring.

So many people to mess up in front of.


But then again,

It really isn’t that hard.

We all have the same feelings.

The same thoughts that tell us what

theirs are.

So there isn’t anything to be afraid of,

if we are afraid of the same thing together.
