Mind numbing fear grasped her tightly
She gazed about ever so politely
Wondering if any could read on her face
The sheer terror that held her in its embrace
One wrong word or movement could result
In the death of family, friends and catapult
Everyone present into chaos and harm
She must make her presentation with charm
Hoping against hope “he’d” understand
Act accordingly, able to withstand
Consequences immediately unleashed
Walking to the mic, heartbeat increased
Her gate was steady and with head high
Determinedly searching for her ally
There he was strong and fierce
Wondering if he’d managed to pierce
The network of malcontents using
This occasion in which they were fuelling
Their unjust cause at the cost of others
He nodded and her gasp she smothered
She went on with her speach as intended
Nothing was changed, nothing amended
Nice. I could feel the fear of stage fright and jitters one goes through before a public speaking.
Thank you. Some people are very nervous about public speaking.
Yes I totally understand.Been there done that
hehe Brava! for overcoming!
Thanks.I was shit scared when I went on stage first at the age of 11 then never stopped.Was a state level champion in debate and elocution contests.
That would be enough to scare the crap out of anybody. State debate, elocution? YIKES! How’d it go?
I stood second.I was into debate and declamation team of my school.But I started it was pretty scary.Then I got over the fear won many inter zonal and state level championship.
Congratulations! Great example of “feel the fear and do it anyway!”
Thanks.I had a great teacher to help me.I owe it to her.
How wonderful is that!
