Interior Monologue
All I see is the glaring, white lights as I am walking out on stage. I look down and see the black stage floor. There is a black and metallic silver mic center stage sitting in front of I can hear people yelling out and screaming. I can now see the people's faces ,but they don’t seem ecstatic. They look like they are disappointed. Disappointed in what? Have I played yet? Have I done anything yet? Everything becomes a blur as I pick up my guitar and start to play. The people start to boo they want me off the stage. SNAP! I wake up. Could this all be just a scary daydream? When I awaken I am backstage getting ready to play. My mind is racing ,and I am extremely nervous. One recurring thought was I can’t do this. I won’t do good. Nobody will like …show more content…
The stress is starting to kick in. I am alone with my thoughts spinning around like a tornado in my mind. All of a sudden I hear a voice like silk. The voice says “ You can do it.” I turn around and I see my girlfriend. She continued in saying “ You got this baby.” I tell her “I can’t do it. I’m so scared that no one will like me.” Then she tells me that I will do fine ,and she will be right there with me. Sometimes all it takes is a little encouragement to make something great happen and to make all the fears go away. Now it is time I go on stage to play. My nerves are still shaky, but I'm a lot calmer now. Each step is like an eternity. With each step growing near I get the rush of adrenaline. Then I get this burst of energy and a boost of confidence. Finally, I am ready to get on stage and play my heart out. The way this feels, it feels like a drug, or like something I cannot live without. The feeling while I am on stage is like the whole world stops. It's just me up there playing. Sometimes however, I still get nervous though, because reality breaks through and I can see a glimpse of what is going on. This rush this amazing feeling that I feel is something I always want to share with people because it is a different kind of feeling. It’s also a healthy kind of

    We arrived in 1905. Crowds of people left the boat, thunderous voices roared as we walked. We were unaware of where we were or where we were heading. As I looked towards her I saw how afraid she was and held her hand. We followed the orders that were being shouted at us and made our way to the first doctor.…

    Step by wicked step, my boots sank further and further into the thick, red-tinged land as if the devil himself were dragging my body straight into the depths of hell. The rhythmic squelching stabbed through my rubber soles, radiating pain throughout my soul as it seared everything in its path. Squelch, squelch, squish. My tempo was interrupted by those cursed boots refusing to budge from the stubborn terrain. As if taunting me, the earth unhooked my feet from the damned soil…

    The video I decided to watch was about Joe overcoming his stage fright and what he did to be able to move on from the fear. Joe was a song writer that had so many songs written he just always had a fear of singing them, he would even be paranoid of his roommates hearing him. Finally he decided to try to overcome this and decided to go to a local open mic and sing. On his first try he showed up and saw that there was a lot of people there, at least in his opinion the roughly 20 people was a lot. It got to the point that he was about to perform the fear kicked in but it also made his adrenaline kick in, he could feel his heart rate increasing and his breathing got faster. He got himself on stage and started to sing and it was horrible and uncomfortable. He could feel the audience was…

    The snare echoes down the tunnel as the motto “heart on fire, mind on ice” takes iteffect. I approach the calm state of mind that is necessary performing in front what looks like a sea of green and white. My excitement is transformed into pure passion as I step into the zone and begin to kick-step my way onto Spartan Stadium field for the first time. How my performance went on this day depended on the accomplishment of a few goals: dedicating myself to the preparation of this show, which is easy enough to accomplish after the intense preseason…

    Three days, six hours and twenty-two minutes have passed. White walls seem to drag and crawl their way around me in padded squares. Shadows flickered on the walls moving waveringly around me. The room remains immersed in darkness, (drowning) but I can still hear the screaming man.…

    Turn the lights out. His hands roamed roughly like stone scrubbing the grub off of my mucky pigmentation every time he sight blemished spots poisoning the fineness of my aesthetic existence. Sigh. It felt great when his fingers strummed the peaks of my chest, hardening the mounts with his sundrenched touch, sending me vibrations of intensified excitement every time he stops himself from teasing the sanity away from my lucid mind.…

    I remember sitting across the dinner table on the night we met, listening to you tell your story and how you were walking through it, and feeling proud of you. I felt our Heavenly Father was allowing me to see you as He does. I guess it is because of the memory of the women I saw setting across from me at the table that I had so much confidence in your ability to make this trip.…

    I’m hopeless. I’m completely and utterly hopeless. I have nothing to look forward to at a school. At least on the farm I had friends and a family. I had a life… largely consisting of stealing from tourists that visit the vineyard. I need to find a way to turn this car around. That’s it! I’ll tell dad that I don’t want to go. He’ll respect my decision. But if he gets mad… shoot, last time he pulled out the belt. No, I better think of a slightly less painful idea. I can make up an excuse – No, that wouldn’t work. If only I wasn’t such a bad liar. In hindsight, if I were a better liar, I would have prevented many bad run-ins with the cops, and the worst run-ins that were near fatal, courtesy of dad. Yeah, he knows me in and out, too, so I can’t trick him. That would be suicide. I could call my friends… if I had a phone. Now I’ll never get to explain to them how I ended up in this mess. They’ll just remember me as the kid who became a goody two-shoes. They’ll never know that I won the contest for acceptance into a private school only because my Grandma wrote the application appeal. My family just doesn’t care that I don’t want to go to school. Why are they not giving me a fair say in the course of my life? They don’t know how good I am at sneaking and stealing. They don’t know how much money I could make if my friends and I took it to the next level. They just don’t understand what I’m trying to say because I’m not good with words. Maybe this school can help me, though. Maybe if I go sit in just the English and Literature class, I can fix this problem of mine. I’m already in the car, why stop now? Shoot, this car is a ’98 Corolla and is used for transporting a family of eight. Maybe this family needs a high school graduate. Maybe they’re actually depending on me. Man, if I just try a little to be a good student, I can make some honest money. Maybe my grandma just wanted to see someone become great. I have to this. I’ll have the best of both worlds…

    It was March, but still frigid in Detroit. With the humming of the heater and the strong rustic winds outside, it was still quiet and calm. There sat 16 year old Veronica Skyes on her bed with her laptop, typing away. The constant pitter patter of her delicate hands bouncing on the keys sounded relaxing. Her room was pretty clean, other than the pile of clothes in the corner of her closet.…

    As I walked through the hallowed halls, onto the stage that had held the best musicians in the world, the importance of what I was about to do was at the forefront of my thoughts. My hands were shaking, my heart was racing, and yet I knew that this was where I was meant to be. Not even my nerves could mar this momentous occasion. On I played Carnegie hall. “How do you get to Carnegie Hall?”…

    The crowd was walking slowly towards the exit of the school. The play had just ended and there were families waiting patiently to meet up with their loved ones who participated in it. A flurry of cast members came rushing in, girls in bright poofy dresses and boys wearing full tuxes, all searching for their friends and family, laughing and joking excitedly. Their cheeks—even some of the boys’—were flushed and rosy from the excitement. I smiled and turned to look ahead to find that there was only one set of doors open instead of all four.…

    And after a thoughtful silence, I said to her, “Why, you must be tired, carrying all those clouds on your back!” Truthfully, it was a strange sight; the billowing mass of something floating above her. She hadn’t seemed to have heard me, so I spoke again. Music has long since been an integral part of my life. Of course, while it can be a cherished companion, it can also be a hated foe in times of frustration.…
