Stage up, lights on, when my name goes off the beautiful moment
When everyone stands up and clap for the new famous poet
Panic to dismay lost of words call it stage fright
Expectation of the audience, fans with flashing light
Got me more nervous, but i put on a smile to blind their sight
I've made a fool of myself many times but not this night
What will it feel like if they get this message wrong
What if my message sounds boring, misunderstood and long
how do I pass the message out make it beautiful like a song
still confuse and lost, it just me, my mind still feel young
now doubting my poetry skills, i really feel i don't belong
why feeling i don't belong to the big stage
Guess I'm scared and locked up in the cage
Cage that got me locked in my own brain
that i will never be enough just insane
lack of self confidence i guess we the same
the fact that i am on the stage doesn't make me the best
the fact that i am in the mic tonight don't mean i'm set
we all the same, we all go through stage fright, but first
let me end this poem, by saying this is deeper than a poet.

A fine ars poetica. Thanks
