Description I make my way to centre stage,
Red velvet curtains.
This is the night.
The night I must perform,
To not be a failure.
Wiping my sweating hands
Onto my ironed trousers,
I clear my throat
And carry on waiting.
Waiting to hear my name called,
And see it behind me in lights.
A swarm of watchers
Will eyeball my every move.
I must not fail.
This is my moment.
The curtains draw back.

You really captured the feeling one gets when they're about to go on stage...

Do you act at all?

Not too bad, but doesn't explore the obvious emotion felt by the would-be star.

Woah, am I the only one who finds this really dramatic and suspenseful..? This is very.. cliff-hang-y in the good sense. Yet, it's not. I don't know. I like it.

What's that supposed to mean? That word's been around a long time, hasn't it? I don't ever remember it becoming a word..
