Ice-Breaker

You stare

At my nervousness

The glare

The perspiration and sweat

I shiver

I can't take the air in here

Where is the nearest exit?

I can't take the

Pressure

It's like standing

On an iceberg

In the middle of

The desert

But maybe

It's like some say

‘Everyday

Is a blessing’

It's a gift

It's the present

It may seem

Like a cliché

But believe me

If need be

Today will be different

Today I will change

I say ‘goodbye nervousness’

As I take my God-given

Talent to all of you

And you're all in agreement

This second

This minute

This very instant

I relinquish

All the pressure

And start testing the limits

(I finally start livin’)
