Stagefright
December 28, 2003
I rarely do this, so know that it's true,
When I thank you,
These words are from the deepest can be.
My one sore spot I let no one see,
I'm opening to the one who means the most to me.
Of all emotions, and all devotions,
I surrendered to this.
I can't believe it but it gives me bliss,
To know that I swallowed my fear,
Enough to get me here.
Behind the curtains counting in my head,
To ward off my nerves and all of my dread.
Eyes closed, I hum to myself,
Knowing sooner than I thought,
I'll be out they're glowing.
All eyes on me.
I've been told I'm a coward,
And to just move forward.
But I don't trust the ground in front of me,
I want to turn and go back to where I used to be.
When I was scared to look up,
So I kept my head down.
Nobody told me I should take a look around.
Back when I could fear a stranger,
And turn away from the danger,
And no one would ask me to shake their hand,
Give them a chance, and see what we can.
After crossing the bridge, I'll fall into the pit,
So there's nothing I can do but give in to it.
So I take a step closer, and manage to stand,
And I see I dont fall, I'm supported by this land.
And now I keep my head up so I don't miss a thing,
Making up for all those years I lived with a clipped wing.
Upon a stranger, I smile and go the extra mile,
To welcome in my life a new companion, a friend.
So months of recovery and here I stand,
Behind the curtains holding my strength hand in hand.
Who'd have known I'd have my own show
In a small town television where I'm not known?
Where I can grace the living rooms of all those eyes,
As they live in oblivion to my diguise.
All eyes on me,
And I can finally see,
Stagefright is alright.
