Curtains Close (Acrostic)

Courage, it takes courage to stand on stage
Unbelievable are the jitters you get from
Running around backstage
Trying to get ready for your scene
Already your turn
Instantly you're stressed
No one can see you shaking
Still your nerves are shot

Curtains close
Laughter erupts from inside your stomach
Only this is laughter caused by nerves not humor
Standing centre stage, taking a bow, the crowd erupts
in
Endless applause
