Reflections on a pitch

Reflections on a Pitch

The biggest stage I've ever stepped on

No curtains drawn just sound, light and electrons 

Those ahead go too long, the host shouts "let's get a move on" 

I take my seat, strangle the mic and hold on

To the words I'll say, in their tongue or mine

This is my time to shine, an opportunity I won't decline, but should rewind 

Just for a minute to reflect on what has been, where I am and have been, and what I've learned through virtue and sin. 

Some of this mission is based on lies and misguided, soon I'll realize and not have to hide it, but till then I'll take this in and have pride in it. 

My pitch, my words, my hopes, my dreams, my future. It all is based on a pitch.
