This Smile Upon My Face
I'm finally on the stage
with bright lights beating down
adrenaline rushing through me
as the audience settles down
My heart is racing faster now
this feeling, I can't escape
the memory of this moment
is one to never be erased
I close my eyes and take one last breath
as the music gradually builds
I pretend as if I'm all alone
dancing through endless fields
It is within these first few seconds
that my nerves seem to disappear
because it's in the moments to come
my reason for being here
The audience might go crazy
at the amount of turns I face
but it's just the feeling of performing
that puts this smile upon my face.
