The Tap Dance continues…

I take one step forward
nervously checking the metal plates at the bottom of my shoes
their connectivity will create that delicious tapping sound when I step

My posture is strong, upright, I slowly roll my shoulders back , chin up
new found abs are tucked in and held, I take one last look at the overall effect

I smile, bracing for the moment until

I stop, disarmed

two
steps
back.

(Be yourself take risks smile when you mean it make eye contact engage)

In the wings, I side step peering out at the lights shining like a beam past me
flooding the space I must fill, back lit faces anticipate
waiting for me to step in and take center stage.

I turn myself about.

"Be yourself take risks smile when you mean it make eye contact engage"

and its all worth the risk even knowing that you'll fall down because there is that chance of one in a million...

"back lit faces anticipate
waiting for me to step in and take center stage."

You'll always be the star. Come on, please dance.
