Having been there more than a few times and witnessed stage fright in myself and others, the poem is on target. Helen’s conclusion is also truth. Applause is the actor’s consolation and deliverance.

This gifted writer
offers observations
in truth sometimes
in self preservation.
To see on the page
what is felt in the soul;
Is to reveal the heart
and make oneself whole.
