Final Moment

A big part of my life finally put into words.

It all comes down to this.
You’ve worked countless hours,
Day and night,
Just to make it perfect.
Taking everything you know;
Everything you’ve been taught,
And taught yourself.
Every emotion you’ve ever known,
All concealed in one tiny part of your soul
Until it’s needed.

You know you’re being watched.
And that just fuels your nerves.
Family, Friends, Perfect Strangers,
And no choice but to be
Someone other then your true self.
Your heart pounds.
Your mind races.
But inside, you smile.
The curtain rises.
It’s opening night.
