Big Sur

How does it feel
To be so damn scared
To take the world stage
And then fall apart

Just expressive short. A questioning reflection on anxiety and fear of failure under pressure, especially when facing public performance or scrutiny.

Adeeb, you've succinctly summed up the agony that Kerouac was suffering from which forced him to go to Big Sur. Thanks so much for the 5 Stars!
