The Speech
I stood tall and proud for all to see,
While the terror I felt tried to break free
Reeling inside with anguish and pain,
Facing the group - this wasn't a game
It's just a few words that need to be said,
Over and over that went through my head
I opened my mouth to get the words out,
Then stuttered and sputtered, I'm not sure what about
I gasped and I choked then closed my eyes tight
I refocused and thought, just do it right
I took a deep breath that I held for a while
Then I started again but first with a smile
I glanced about as I started this time
And surprised myself when I spoke in all rhyme
