Nervous? You should be.
After all, we never imagined that this place and this position is one you could eventually be.
What you confidently told yourself five minutes ago fled in a flash.
Now you are up against the real thing, and there is no turning back.
Your chest tightens as does your grip on your hands and the situation.
The anticipation of it all has made you question your very foundations.
The ground on which you stand feels more like sand than it is stable.
Where you were once able to talk, you are no longer able.
You felt it was something that only existed in fairy tales and fables.
The fact remains you feel like you have bungee jumped off a bridge without a cable.
Nowhere to land, nothing to catch your fall.
All you have is just the world in your face and the wind at your back.
You forget your name, less and less you begin to matter and make sense.
You scramble for substance and come up empty in every instance.
The distance slowly shortens as you think of a way you can pretend it isn't real.
Nothing for a moment moves or matters, and all you are left to do is feel.
Quiver and quake as you tremble in the wake of the best moment from what you thought had to be a mistake.
Something breaks as it mends and what was once unbreakable begins to bend.
Maybe you will understand and defend this point for someone who is looking for their 'when.'
You have every right to be nervous and anxious, everybody feels like that now and then.
