Performance Note 4
Remember
nervous energy
can be re-framed as
excitement
Instead of letting
the anticipation drain
your drive, take deep breaths
and imagine
how grateful
your future self will be
that you fully lived
while you were
alive

That last stanza is gold. Very nice, Bud.
especially also love the music in drain/drive and “l” sounds punctuating the last stanza
Great piece. I agree about the last stanza!
Artfully put and an affirming piece.
That last stanza is EVERYTHING!!! Yes!

Yep! A friend’s grandson calls it “nervicited”.

“you fully lived
