Public Speaking

Location

All I see is a bright light as a spotlight shines on me, 

I can't speak nothing comes out, 

I feel tears falling down my face,

Wanting to show the world my ideas and thoughts,

Taking a deep breath and I speak:

"Scared, Alone, Stressed, 

Nowhere to go, 

Nowhere to hide, 

Eyes watching your every move, 

The non-stop pain and agony, 

The suffering pain,

The throbbing pain,

The sense of tears,

A hoping to be well again feeling stressfulness,

The letting down people,

Feeling sorry for the others like this, 

Wishing to be someone else at the moment, 

But still here scared and alone."
