Musical Perspective

Musical Perspective
By Manda

Pounding, deep in your veins.
Breath quickens, mind races.
Focus, focus.
Pulsing rhythm in your bones.
Mouth opens, eyes watch.
Music fills the air.

Humming, tickling your skin.
Wrong note, rushing panic.
Focus, focus.
Trying to get back on track.
Push ahead, keep moving.
The self doubt is there.

Tripping, sour to the ear.
Shame burning, disappointment clear.
Focus, focus.
Last note, mouth closes.

Tried and failed.
Just not fair.
