You're Doing Fine

Hands sweating,

the body shaking,

I've learned my lines,

these are the sings,

the paper now gone,

now go shine in the light,

like a swan,

open your wings,

and pull ap your strings,

there's nothing to hide,

don't try to blacken your bright side,

don't make people think you lied,

show them your pride,

your hands too kind to hide in pockets,

don't let people think you cried,

now you are in,

a safe haven from expectant crowds.

fear had overwhelmed you,

don't let your scare compel you,

now scan the room for friendly faces,

Some small accepting sign to say:

“You're doing OK…”

“You're doing OK…”
