Deep breaths,
Nerves running like a tap,
Grasping hands tightly,
Waiting,

"Stop talking!"
Curtain flies up,
Fearful eyes,
Yet excited about the prize,
My stomach is a washing machine,

Walking on,
Remember facial expressions,
Big smiles now,
Slightly crying,

Ok, arms up, arms down
Side, side, crouching now
And cue the prize,
Ahh, it always satisfies
