I'm Nervous

It bubbles in my stomach
twists my guts
churns and churns inside
making me unsure
I feel excited in a bad way
I want to run
I want to escape
it'll be over before I know it
it's like a 5 minute death
and it's inevitable
the other shoe will drop
and there I'll sit
shoeless and still nervous
my back aches
my head spins
floating above while counting down
minutes seconds
until I have to stand up there
and talk about nothing
I'm nervous.
