Trying to remove my mind from time
If I dwell too much on this moment, I won’t make it
This is exhausting
Complete dreaded torment
That occurs only when being judged and tested
“My name is Kay Alderfer and I will be singing ‘How I Feel’”
I hear my voice ripple as the piano player doesn’t follow me
But I go on and leave him behind
Wow, that was good
Did that really come from me?
Maybe I did better than I thought I would
Oh, now I can’t help but be hopeful
That maybe I can soak in the spotlight
Take center stage while the crowd stands in awe
But only if you give me the call I need
All I want is a moment of applause that I can say is mine

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
