A Music Student's Song

                       Crazy schedule-no time to breathe

                        Freaking out over homework

                        and staying up all night in vainhopeoffinishing

                        Grades might be good; I can only hope they are

                        dinner I eat alone to save time

                        every second is worth so much

                        Getting sleep… Sleep? What’s that?

                        Crazy. I feel so… insane

                  Creating music is my delight.

                        Forming notes on a staff into a story; into                 

                        artistic masterpieces that can only be heard.

                        Going to practice piano now

                        don’t stay up for me-I’ll be back late

                        every second will be filled with bliss

                        Gracefully shaping notes into phrases

                        Cadences end the phrases with Certainty

                        Feeling overwhelmed is part of my life, but

                        Creating my music, I forget everything else.
