Stage fright

Standing still,
Frozen from finger tip to finger,
Trapped in place, 
Fear clinging to my skin,
Fear crawling up my spine,
Fear wrapped around my neck,
Do not move,
A single twitch setting off the alarms,
Do not speak, 
they could hear,
Ripping everything in their path,
Just to claw at my flesh as I scream,
Agony,
They are after me,
But I won’t move,
They are after me,
So why won’t my legs carry me away,
A split second that’s all I got,
I was free,
My breath coming back to me,
It powers me to flee,
Hide away,
From the crowd pity cheering for me, 
Hide away,
From the metal microphone,
Hide away,
From the blaring lights 
Hide me away.
