Blankness is

An anxiety

That gut wrenching

Tear Jerking

Oh snap!

 

... ... ... ...

 

Oh my gosh I forgot the rest of the lines

I practiced this time and time again

I’m sorry

I could say this forwards and backwards

Upside down and inside out

Earlier

I swear I thought I knew this

Kind of moment

 

It’s an anxiety

You freak out as soon as you stumble

And then *snap nothing else comes to mind

You don’t know yourself

You hate yourself

Every word that you ever though you knew

Disappears

All in the span of a second

 

Don’t.

 

That’s my advice to you

Don’t succumb to the darkness

That is your anxiety

Pause for “dramatic affect”

Breathe

Allow that “deep moment”

To “sink in”

With the audience

 

Take your time

You know this

Backwards

Forwards

Inside out

Upside down

 

Blankness is

An anxiety

An

Oh my gosh

I know this

Calm down

Breathe

In.

Out.

In.

Out.

Kind of moment

 

But,

Nobody else has to know.
