My moment in the sun

Nervous, anxious, my stomach so unsettled
Ready, but scared, the director has called my name
Unsure of the future, but excited none the less
I stand up boldly and proceed towards the center

The audience is large, unknown to my eyes
I take a deep breathe as I prepare for my time
Not sure from where it came, but peace surrounds my mind
I soon realize that I’m next in line

I’ve described it in my mind
A million times before
But nothing in my past can prepare me
For my moment in the sun

5/14/03 – Sacramento, California
