"I cant remember the words" I said. "how am I supposed to go in front of all these people if the words go in one ear and out the other?"
"You will be okay." Mom said "you have got this you will do amazing. Now get out there and be the best you can be."
I walk out on stage and put the headset around my head so the mic just barely reaches the corner of my mouth. I can hear the chaos of the backstage hands preparing for the show everyone is expecting me to kill tonight. The music starts, my pulse races, and I can feel butterfly's in my stomach. The mark hits to begin singing. Much to my surprise the words naturally poor out and the nerves calm down. After The beautiful lyrics have spilled from my mouth, Mom comes out, "that was a great soundcheck. Now lets get you ready for the real thing."
The Nerves Have come back.
