A Poem inspired by the Childish Gambino song of the same name
I’m thinking bout it
I’m really thinking about it
But I know your eyes will be on me
Your mind might not be
But as soon as I open these lips
It will be
But I’m terrified
Aight Imma do it
I’m terrified
That you won’t like what you see
Like what you hear
Cuz I know I won’t
I already feel naked
Where’s a church towel when you need one
I’m terrified
What am I doing?
I can’t look at you not right now
Aight Imma do it
Here I go
The further away from you I am the closer I feel
But I want you to hold me and tell me I’m good
Cuz I wanna be good for you
I want your applause
But each step I take away just to face you
Makes me tremble
Shake like a chihuahua
Feet dancing like I gotta pee
I can’t look at you yet, not yet
Because I’m terrified but I can’t let you see
So I straighten my back, flip my hair, put my hand on my hip and turn that dancing into dancing
I can bend
I can pretend
And turn around cheesing hard in full view for your eyes only
I’m next in line this should be sublime
I’m the closing act
Just me and all the eyes of the audience
When I’m front and center
I won’t be terrified
