Baby You'd Be There

Once you left work and almost got fired
Just to see me shine

It means so much when someone sees you shine

I can't tell if I'm shining if no ones there to see

As I sit on the stage holding back stupid childish tears,
yawning not out of boredom but out of sheer exhaustion because I have been working my ass off at not only
this, but at work and school and life, as well

I realize this is what its all about.
It's about feeling like shit, because something let you down, and pushing through it
using that emotional charge to get lifted up to where you need to be.

It's about feeding off of those close to you,
Taking their energy for your own,
knowing that they love you and care and
so does everyone seated below you and those controlling things from above.

Its about paying attention to small details storing them for complements later,
sharing that vagina love.

Its about appreciating those 2 people sitting by themselves in the audience
knowing you have their support and that is all you need.

Its about the effort put in and
then that moment of peace
when the lights hit your face
and you stand
and the words flow out of your mouth like rain from the sky.
The easiness amazes you and you're away, but you're there and you disappear in what you say

                     And its such a lovely feeling, you know.
