Staring
The first poem I ever wrote, I was in the 6th grade
********************************
People looking, people watching
Staring.
Spotlight is like a thousand suns
Sweating, doubting, silent.
Brain is wracking,
Mouth opens but nothing comes out,
Staring.
Nerves jingle together as if in knots
Embarrassment is at a mount
Voice comes out at last,
Had nothing to worry about
Applause.
