A gift

Standing on the stage,
Reaching for perfection,
Moving unconsciously,
Lost in the moment.

Doing what I love most,
Free to be myself,
To show pain and sorrow,
They think it's just an act,
Don't know it's real for me.

I move and loose myself here and now,
I'm gone, not here, don't know how.

The music's in me,
My feet move on their own,
Knowing each line of the song.

All lights shine on me,
The crowd starts to cheer,
The music's gone,
I'm lost for a moment,
Then I bow and leave,
Feeling their eyes on me.

Later I see the film,
See how I looked to them,
See the lights in my hands,
Yet not myself,
See the wonder I brought
And start to smile.

I'm still stuck in the darkness,
But brought light to you all.
