The mic that didn't reach my mouth!

Image result for mic and crowd
I stood alone in a thousands' crowd,
Looking at parents proud and my heart beating loud.

Sweat ran from everywhere to everywhere,
With sun's scorching heat that I couldn't bear.

I stepped back an inch and said "I can't perform",
-"Just four lines, you can" waved at me, my mom.

They taught me a song famous here way south,
I told them "I can't sing, the mic doesn't reach my mouth".

I ran down swiftly, and my heart felt so light,
I didn't think of my parents a bit, who prepared me all night.

Had "the mic reached my mouth" that day, I'd have gone a long way,
Aah! What use is it of, regretting it today?
