Curtains Close [Acrostic]

Courage; it takes courage to stand on stage.
Unbelievable are the jitters you get from
Running around backstage,
Trying to get ready for your scene.
Already your turn!
Instantly you're stressed.
No one can see you shaking,
Still your nerves are shot.

Curtains close,
Laughter erupts from inside your stomach.
Only this is laughter caused by nerves not humor.
Standing centre stage, taking a bow, the crowd erupts in
Endless applause.
