what do i see?

Location

From behind the curtains i peek. Too afraid that people will see me. To be judged or booed of the stage. I would have to brave. From the beginning it has been a game of hide and seek. Ive been seeking for as long as i can rember, for the courage that i need. I look at others worried for what i"ll see. Maybe i wont reach all the guidlines, maybe im just below average. I was never the one to step out on stage, to say what i needed to. I saw all with so much courage. And then there was me. I was always scared to look in the mirror, to put myself down. I never knew why i disliked myself so much. I tried so hard. What do i see now? In new lighting and a different view. From which i held my head high. I see a young female growing and making something of herself. I see a women that has been through everything but is still here. Someone who took it all and never gave up. I see the begining of a long forgotten dream.
