Shame MAG
January 12, 2010
Curtains open
stage flooded with light,
face white
with fear
of failing.
Knees weak and
shaking.
Stomach doing flips …
Nausea begins.
Voice is lost in
the crowd of faces
waiting,
expecting,
laughing.
Wonder when this will
end.
Curtain closes.
Muscles tightened
with anger,
and
shame.
