On Stage
On stage the first odd thing is knowing what it feels like being so high off the ground
You look to your left and everyone is staring at you
You look to your right and you know they’re looking at you
Theres no where to hide
When you get to the mic, you hold it in your hands and its cold
Your heart is dropping
And you can’t afford to think
The only thing you smell is the metal
You don’t know whats coming out of your mouth
You just taste the metal every time you bring it to your mouth
You feel the beats in your chest
You look in front of you and you
You shiver because you have chills
You see faces and you remember every emotion
Even off stage you feel everything
You see it on their faces
In their grins, their raised eyebrows, their laughter, their handshakes
When your named is being shouted
When your hear whispers
When people are dancing along
When the music stops
