Spotlight

glaring into blinding light

the contrast is like day and night

the audience you know is there

the smell of popcorn in the air

adrenaline is coursing through

hands are shaking and nerves grew

I stand alone, up on the stage

and feel my heart come off the page

and into the words I sing

my heart, my love, my everything.

I know no matter where I roam

just need my voice to come back home.
