Power In Me

Power In Me

A Poem by Nathan Baretto
"

Short poem about the underlined abilities in us.

"
The stage shines bright, but speaks to a dim tone
and despite a full crowd, my mind is alone
I feel a flutter, a whoosh! Could it be?
Flying away are the papers I need!
no problem, no worry, I say to my hands
until half of the crowd erupts into bands
The pressure surrounds me, increasing to the minute
The brain alarms buzz off:"I say we just wing it!"
So I think, and I pace, and remember a line
And another, and another, until it becomes nine!
The crowd is so stunned, a frenzy no more
If my words were in order, well I couldn't be sure!
Yet as I finish I realize just how
and it's not the words scribbled or even the crowd
it's something so subtle, yet something that's key
It's simply the power that's vested in me!
