The floor’s yours
Time to take
Your rightful spot
On center stage
Perform your best
Give your all
Until judge says:
You’re worth it
This deepest desire
So close you…
Can taste it
Can almost grasp
In your fingertips
But it slips
Along with all
Trace of confidence
Into abyss of
Not good enough
If a judge
Simply says “no”
Inhibitions, not there before
Now you’re stuttering
Hesitation, scared you’re wrong
But you’re forgetting
To forget the
Judge, to remember
That your spotlight
Only leaves if
You let it
Your spotlight will
Always shine bright
Like the star
That you are.
As long as
You’ll take it.
