'It's all in your head.'

I stand and wait,
My hands clammy and my throat tight,
I recite it over and over in my head,
I fear I'm going to fumble, humiliate myself.
I feel my breath getting shallow,
My hands start to shake, I hold them tight, maybe a little too tight...
It's almost my turn now,
I feel nauseous, overwhelmed,
I want to run away but I know it has to be done.
I feel a lump in my throat,
I take a deep breath, it all comes down to this.
I'm flooded with a sea of emotions, I don't know if I can do it!
I take another deep breath, step forward and barely bring myself to look up...
And then I hear it,
The 5 words that strike fear into my heart,
"May I take your order?"
