I'm coming out of the dark. A word I used to say before going up on the stage. The stage is where my alter ego takes over. I become fierce and powerful like a god. Preparing for the light in the dark seems easier as there are no eyes on me.
But on the stage where I show the world what I am made off. the man, the steal and talent there are many eyes, strange eyes I do not know and may never know.
It started with a fright. I was frightened by the crowd. I used to be. Cold feet that killed my happy feet. Sweaty and glittery I was before I faced the crowd. I hated the feeling of weakness. I needed to be strong. I read some books and I knew what to do.
Face my fears. But how?
Fear has no name nor face. No body or an address. How do I do this? A dilemma. I was confused but I looked inward. It was in me. Fear was with me. All along it had followed me to everywhere I went.
I embraced the energy and trained harder than I could ever have done. I became one with fear and a little less than it. I became like a lion. Brave and fearless.
The stage is waiting for me. I could hear the sound and cheers. I could see the light as I approached from the dark. There are voices in the shadows, there are personalities in the dark waiting to be strong and brave to face the light.
I faced my fears. I embraced it. I am fearless.
Out of the shadows, I emerged a champion looking forward to see the light.
