Center of Attention


The bright lights blind me.
Clapping echos throughout the room.
All eyes are on me.
Watching.
Waiting.

Sheepishly, I fumble the microphone.
For a moment, I am mute.
My body quivers like a hot kettle.
Words trickle out of my mouth insipidly.
Terror.
It drips hot off of my lips.

Applause.
