A single staggered breath throws my heart off into a erratic series of skips and jumps. My arms are sore and my legs are tingling as if tiny needles were penetrating the inner sides of my muscles. Sweat beads roll into my eyelashes and sting my eyes. Perfection, perfection, perfection. Nothing less, everything more. Criticizing my own ability and questioning myself into a hard mindset with my core set with determination. The stage is mine, and I’m going to feed my audience with something mesmerizing. I am the best, and nothing less. Anxiety runs through my veins and adrenaline pumps out in every direction. But I am still as stone on the outside, not the slightest tremble in my fingers, not a single shake in my knees. I step into the light and my heart stops but my body moves. This is my shot, my stage, my realm of dreams and shining stars. I’m going to give it everything I’ve got.
