Countless eyes staring at me,
Watching my every move.
My face turns red,
There’s water in my eyes,
Yet I’m paralyzed to the bone.
I hear the voices calling me,
Screaming my name,
I feel so lost
It’s so dark in here
And I feel so all alone.
I don’t know why I am this way,
I swear I’m trying to change.
But it seems that no matter how I run
I can never get away.
Second pass but it feels like years
I swear I can feel the tears.
The murmurs start
The chuckles begin
Oh, how I wish it would all just end.
My heart's pounding
I’m running out of time
Everyone’s waiting for me to finish the line.
I try to speak
But I just gasp
This breathing is hard to do.
So I run off stage
And hide my face
Disappointing everyone
Especially you.
