I check my pulse,
Just as I suspected,
I’m not sure if it’s speeding up,
Or slowing down,
That’s how lost I am.
I look around me,
At my opponents,
They look so composed,
“Do something” I think,
“Scream like Tarzan, make a monkey sound, or better yet, forget your speech.”
How evil am I?
Slowly the first 3 letters of the alphabet are called,
A, B, and C,
They all mess up,
They all looked pale,
They all were frightened.
“Speaker D”,
The man calls,
Speaker D isn’t going,
Who is speaker D?
I look down at my tortured piece of paper,
Oh, me.
I start praying to every god imaginable,
Stand up and smile,
One big Britney Spears smile,
My dads a dentist,
This shouldn’t be a big deal.
I take a breath,
A little to big,
Because now I have to burp,
“Resist the urge” I tell myself,
And just say your speech.
“When you think of a hero, what comes to your mind?”
What comes to your mind?
What comes to my mind?
Oh god,
What comes to my mind?
Nothing.
