The wait is worth it

You wait and wait 
for days and days
and when it's time 
you brace yourself 
and repeat the line 
20 times in your mind
and then when you make it through 
the whole performance
you cry
and breathe out the remaining jitters
and no matter how hard it was,
even if you messed up,
you always think,
"I'm brave enough to do that,
I'm brave enough to do anything"
and it's really the best feeling
in the whole world.
