Ah, the fear of public speaking has come through loud and clear in this piece. I have one suggestion for you: in the line "my sanity is doubt" I believe would read better as "my sanity's in doubt". What do you think?
How much I've wished that proverbial hole in the floor would become reality at times! I enjoyed your poem because I've been there. Fortunately, I never fainted or did anything too embarrassing. I can't resist sharing a trick I learned along the way. Start with something funny that happened on the way to the event or earlier in the day. Once the audience is laughing, you've got them in your hands, and your hands are no longer shaking. This was really a fun poem to read and I hope your public speaking goes well! :-) Sharon
