Shattered hopes and dreams
I’m in the spotlight
All eyes are on me
but suddenly it's getting very hard to breathe
I fantasized about singing and dancing on stage
but when I got on, all of that went away
now here I am alone in this play
silently hoping to get pulled off this stage
I've always loved the concept of playing in a
theater
but my fear of eyes couldn’t get much meaner
trying to get in rhythm with the music
yet i feel like i'm staggering around being stupid
Dancing through the night
Trying to figure out what’s right
Stumbling into the darkness
Like a horse without a harness
My lungs once again begin to close
I knew I had to say goodbye to all my hopes
Slowly I watch as the darkness surrounds me
Then I suddenly begin to think
maybe it just wasn’t meant to be me

I decided to write this because I've always had a dream of being on stage singing or dancing yet I've always had huge stage freight.
