Listen to the music while reading this poem, it will give a curtain energy to the words:

365 days to go

Filling in this form on the web,
Leaving my contact information.

364 days to go

My phone is ringing,
Almost missed the call,
But I got it in time.
The conversation ended,
An appointment was made.

334 days to go

There it is, that...
That thing.
I get in, and the conversation starts.
We start driving,
Taking a turn to the right,
And we were taking turns for the next hour.
It's over, at least for a week.

327 days to go

There it is again,
It stops right in front of me.
I get in and we drive away.
My hand slips to the poke,
Changing the gear,
The pointer moves, and we start speeding.

35 days to go

I kick the break,
We come to an end.
It has been weeks of training,
Weeks of pain and sweat.
The conversations takes a turn.
I grab my phone to look,
And we make the appointment.
It has been settled.

5 days to go

I get in for one last turn,
One last time I get to learn,
Next time it's over with the acceptance of failure.

40 minutes to go

I kick the gas,
we start driving,
Turning the wheel like I have done all the other times,
But this. This feels different.
After this it will never be the same.
After this I will never be the same.

No time left

My time has come,
It is now or never,
It is under or over.
I have to proof my self,
Or I won't make it.
We get in,
I drive away, taking turns and hitting the break
Again, and again, and again, and again.

40 minutes in

It is over,
It is finished,
I stop the car one last time.
We get out, and walk inside.
This is the moment,
Now I will hear his opinion,
Did I do something wrong.
He smiles and laughs,
All this time he has been looking at me.
He smiled at me,
There it was,
Those words.
"You did it, you made it, you have passed"
It was over....
I made it.....
I did it.....
I got my drivers license!!!!!!
I do not own the music.
Just use it as a second layer of feeling to the words.

— The End —
