all eyes on me

ready to see, feel, hear

the words bouncing

off the mic

into the crowd

a piece of me

to be shared

give permission

for ears to

enter my soul

take control

for this brief

dramatic moment

I am all yours

you are all mine

our hearts intertwined

as we dance

to the same beat

my beat

inhale deeply

exhale slowly

I am ready

to take center stage
