Dancing

Waiting nervously side stage,
Knowing this is your only chance,
You're sweating,
Breathing,
Panicking
You wake from your horrible nightmare,
Knowing today is the day,
You get dressed,
Do your hair,
Go to class
You try your hardest,
Over and over,
You point your feet,
Turn out your legs,
Practice
You go to the eisteddfod,
Time to prepare,
You get dressed,
Do your makeup,
Go side stage
Waiting nervously side stage,
Knowing this is your only chance,
You're sweating,
Breathing,
Panicking
You step on the stage,
Bathed in light,
You leap,
Pirouette,
Dance
