performance anxiety

you said that you were faking it
on stage the other night.
you claimed that you didn’t feel
any of those emotions
that you sang about
with that mic in your hand.
pardon me if I don’t believe you.
I’m not saying you’re lying.
it’s just that I felt it,
it moved me,
you channeled something
that spoke to me on
a deep level. you
made me feel
all the feels. I wish
you could feel
how very much
you made me
feel.
