Performance Anxiety

I’ve written a song that I really like but I’m nervous about performing it. I’ve only performed one other song that I wrote and it was with the co-composer who played the guitar while I sang. I was a lot less nervous about signing that one infront of an audience. I think I’m so nervous because this song is only me. I’m the only one that wrote the melody and the lyrics, and I don’t play an instrument so I’d be singing a cappella. I’ve never felt nervous like this about performing. If people don’t like it, or think it’s simple or silly I’ll take that personally. I shouldn’t though. There should always be some separation between the self and the art one creates. The song is only an aspect of who I am, not the whole. Maybe I will perform it. I have until tonight to decide.
