Nerves

Bet you can see
My hands shaking
Damned nerves
My voice is breaking
Where did the air go?
I can't breathe
Did you even know
I could be this panicked?
I'd love to cry
Just weep right here.
I'd like to know why
I just can't handle this.
I'll just have to be composed
And carry on normally
Since I so loathe to
Let you see me sweat.
I'll beat this yet.
