“Public speaking”
“Presentation”
“Performance”
Brisk to the stage
Thump! Thump!
Heart beat increases rapidly
Lips pale out
Passing by the audio system
The audio system roars
A fierce chilling wind blows
Provokes primal fear
Sending chills into my spine
Standing on the stage
Mind goes blank
Voice turns to stutter
Feet glued onto the stage
Daunted by the listeners at auditorium
Daunted by rolling eyes to every utterances
Wobbly feet
Getting cold feet
Pause
Take a deep breath
Practice speech returns gradually
Speak out

Being an introvert, this is indeed my Achilles heel. I do tend to get cold feet on stage.
