He looks calm and ready
He’s joking now
Everyone is staring at him
He start sweating
Shaking and saying all those words
That he did not say before
He stands up
And go to the stage
With all these stress,
He doesn’t want to go,
Humiliating himself,
Cause, he’s about to sweat
He relaxes and takes a long breath
After he said one word
He forgot about all the stress
And imagine
That every thing will be okay
He looks down and sees magic
Finally he forgot all about his stress
He was just scared all alone
He start talking
It looks like he was standing
On his own red carpet
well done...a nice write about what one has to go through before the speech!
