Nerves

When your insides all quake,
and your knees start to shake,
and you feel like your heart is going to break.

When you know that it's true
you'll be broken in two,
if you make that mistake that you always do.

That's when you know,
you're ready to go,
get rid rid of your fears,
and put on a show.

Send those shivery-shakes,
and those quivery-quakes
far away from your smile,
which never is fake.

To your turn and extentions
pay lots of attention,
so good things are all that the judges will mention.

On your jumps and your spins,
always end with a grin,
and center your turns on the head of a pin.

I do not lie,
it's as easy as pie,
if you believe in yourself,
and always, always try.

I know you might cry,
but I promise you won't die.

*Sigh*
