Breathe

I step out onto the floor and remove my shoes I hear the faint click clack of my bare feet on the cold tile below me. Breathe I feel the heat rise into my face and my heart race faster that I can keep up with I look ahead at my peers all keen eyed and bubbleling with anticipation I feel their eyes bore into my skin Breathe I'm in the spotlight I only have one chance no take backs no redos this is it just breathe one two three four I hear the music play as I get into position no matter the outcome I have to try my best everything will be OK breathe five six seven eight I inhale slowly as the moment inches closer breathe nine breathe ten
