* To my friend Mae, this poem is inspired by our Talent Show together
Shining on me, was this spotlight
I subtly shook with fright
This was really a bad idea

Why did I agree to this?
Right after, I’m sure to kill Liz
But my thoughts were interrupted
As sound of hand-clappings erupted
The music had began to play
Clearly my embarrassment is on the way
Then I realized…this is my chance
To show them I can sing and dance
Thinking, It’s alright, I’ll be fine
Simply closing my eyes
Losing myself to rhythms of the song
Allowing it to pull me along
