On This Stage Date: Friday, 4th June 2010 @ 12:53:41 AM AEST Topic: Sad Poetry Contributed By: kmarie Walking up those steps palms sweating, heart racing in my chest ready to break free, needing to become anyone I want to be. Facing that audience, lights shining bright. I shall, even just for tonight, become .......... a singer, a dancer, a president, a doctor, an author, or even an artist. Leaping into the air, toes pointed behind me singing a song as I hear the audience clap along seeing their standing ovation as we bow, stepping behind as the curtain closes. My home in my sight, energy still high, smile spreading across my face as the realization comes that happiness does exist, wether it's in the form of a best friend, sister, mother, father, or even, just a simple, small, stage.
