Band Music

band music that you don't know how to play

in the first rehearsals of the year

and the recording

and it's so unbelievably beautiful

and you don't know how you'll ever to play it

but then it starts coming together

piece by piece

slowly sounding like it should 

and it sounds more and more like the recording

then you add your own touch

and it's so beautiful 

it sounds like the recording

and you're so proud of it but also so sick of it

because to make it pretty

you had to practice it

over and over and over again

It's so beautiful but also so not but so much so

and you're so tired of it

but it's so beautiful

and then the concert comes up

And so you play together for the last time

something goes wrong

but you can't listen

because you're concentrating

It's all over before you can even really think

blood, toil, tears, and sweat

 all within minutes

and then it's over. It's all over.

thanks for reading

stupid poetry about something I didn't even intend to write about oops :P

and also this took way longer than it should had
