Undercover

Before every major sting, I get that feeling in the pit of my stomach, I never realized until today it's the same feeling that artists, and musicians get as well. Today in my capacity as an undercover agent, I am performing live on stage in front of thousands of people. That is something I would never had thought to even try before now, before it was required of me.

My stomach is churning and I know that this time it's not because of the sting. I am not a major player this time around, I am merely the distraction, the bait. I feel like my head will explode and I just know I am going to screw up and I don't mean the mission. I refer to missing a note, or singing in alto when I should be singing soprano. That kind of messing up.

Jeeze I never realized all the trouble and effort musician had to go to and today I was becoming one for a short period of time. After a sip or three of Sprite to calm my roaring stomach and repeating the following mantra "Don't focus on the people, focus on the music." in my head, i was ready to take my place on stage, take my 15 minutes of fame where and when I could get it.
