You get up on stage
ballet shoes
pink tights
lovely ballet leotard
the music begins
starting with a fierce beat
almost as loud as your heart
beating
th-thump, th-thump
breathe
everyone is watching you
now you can't say
"everyone is watching me mess up"
you say
"everyone is watching me dance"
you start
gracefull
dancing with the energy
of your nerves
it's just like practice
you tell yourself
It's your time to shine

"dancing with the energy of your nerves"
What a wonderful way to describe what can drive us in such situations. I have felt that way when giving a speech.
Oh My Goodness! What a vivid and wonderful poem! Keep up the good poetry!
