The show must go on

There are times like these when nothing seems to go right.

Feels as if the wind has been knocked out of lungs.

Brain freezes, hands go numb.

Perfect time to crawl to a corner and assume fetal position.

No. not anymore.

I'll not succumb to the allure of blaming everything and going into a shell.

This is when I stand up, and see if I can stay on my legs.

This is the test which I need to pass or fail.

Because no matter what happens, I'm going to put on one hell of a show.
