Life’s A Dance
By Ashley O’Hare
Scalding spotlights,
fighting new nerves
and crippling stage fright.
I wish I knew
how this night will end.
This passion is too new
to my life trends.
My gut is a mess;
there is too much stress.
over a loose thread in my dress.
I’ll be the first to confess
that I have never been so distressed
and simultaneously blessed.
This is the life
I want to live
beyond just tonight.
