Too Local Open Mic

In about 2 hours and some change I'll be participating in an open mic that is too close for comfort.

I can travel way out to the other side of Richmond where no one knows me and I don't have to face the people the next day but, this one tonight is 2 minutes away from my school.

And quite a few people I work with chill here apparently. I'm so nervous because this is a side of me not a lot of people know about.

I'm just hoping I shake these nerves before I get up there on that little stage. Plus it's my favorite sushi spot, if I get up there and mess up I'm going to remember it every time I have a dragon roll.

This isn't the only thing bothering me though. I had a not so good doctors visit the other day and I'm a bit down about it.

I'm trying to decide when I'm going to tell my sisters because the first time I went through this I thought they were going to pass out.

I don't know if I'm strong enough to handle this again so I'm hoping that it's not as bad as it feels.

I been praying so much that God help me through this again I practically live in my "prayer closet" as my grandmother calls it.

Whoo, I gotta shake this, and I gotta shake it now. It's already thrown me off once, I won't let it throw me off again.
