Called on

He calls me to speak

Dear God why me

Flushed cheeks spit out my words

My mind goes numb

Dear God why me

Where do I begin

My mind goes numb

Sputter until I speak

Where do I begin

Stiff eyes fall to me

Sputter until I speak

Wipe wet hands on pants

Stiff eyes fall to me

All of my air has leaked from my lungs

Wipe wet hands on pants 

Flushed cheeks spit out my words

Dear God why me
