Standing in the wings of the theatre of blogs.
Suddenly overcome by stagefright.
I'm still in the shadow, safe and unknown
But the footlight is already on

My hands are itching, aching almost
And the one who encourages  me,
Already used to the bright lights,
Is pushing me, without stepping on the podium herself.

She doesn't need a push.
She knows how it feels.
She steps on when ever she has a thought.
She writes like she speaks her thoughts.

I'm new.
I'm fresh.
I'm green.

I'm............. on stage!!!!!!!!!
