In second grade I got
an honorable mention
In the piano state
For those of you who don’t know
This competition has a first place,
I’ve forgotten the name
Runner up
And honorable mention
Below that was a 1
And a 2
I don’t know if
Only a certain number could
Be in each category
But I did know for each age level
There was certainly more than one
Either way, I was excited
Pleased
The next year,
I got a 1
The year after that,
I broke down crying
Thoroughly
Unprepared
And got a 2
The year after
I got a 1
The year after
I got a 1
The year after
I got a 1
The year after
I got a 1
And no that was not a mis
Type
That was really how it was
I switched piano teachers
And vowed I’d do better this time
But I spent most of my summer
Out of town
And I didn’t get the practice
I needed
The year after
I got a 1
This year,
I’m participating
Once again
And I’m tired
At the monotony of it all
But,
Can I actually
Overcome my laziness and time restrainsts and practice
The amount I need?
