The Butterfly Effect

I'm nervous
I feel the butterflies fluttering around 
Sh, don't make a sound 
I need to keep them down 
My pores are oozing with everything but confidence 
My heart is telling me to dance 
But my feet continue stumbling 
The words tug at the tip of my tongue 
Refusing to exit my mouth
And float around in the air 
And into your ear 
So I guess they'll just stay where they are 
I hope you can't tell 
But my heart is trying to escape my chest 
My mind is racing by its side 
But in the opposite direction of the finish line 
My lungs are fighting for oxygen 
But my mouth is glued shut and won't let it in 
I'm falling apart 
And yet I can't help but wish 
That everyday felt exactly like this
