This is the experience of my first time on a stage, over 12 years ago.

The stage empty.
The lights shining, burning your eyes.
People waiting...
Growing tiresome,
Whispering.
Your face, red and hot with embarassment.

The floor, shifting under your feet.
The tears are stinging your eyes.
Taunting you...
Not now...Not yet.
Your mind drifts away.
Underwear.
Imagine them in underwear.
Your mind returning.
The people applaude.
