WRITING OBSTACLE

Detail their anxieties and motivations as they wait for their turn. How do their nerves affect the outcome of their audition?
Auditions w/ Anxiety
Here I stand, infront of rulers
Ones who take measures
From 0 to who are you?
Why do you deserve to be here?
You’ll never keep it going
We sized up your value
And don’t think it’s quite that big
But wait?
Who said that?
Was it you?
Maybe the man over there that stands so tall?
Oh no…
That was me
Here again, alone in your head
Listen to my buzz and be my prey
Sit down and move
Move all around, don’t be still
But if I steal a look, and you’ve left that chair….
Oh there will be hell to bare
For you I own…
And what I say goes….
So don’t you dare, challenge this bear.
