Life will be decided this moment, this instant
Oh Christ, give me courage and strength
Very deep breaths, Erica, very deep breaths
Every note, every beat, perfect length

Beat out the timing from the beat of my heart
Until all the nerves fall apart
God, remind me, it was there from the start…

Ok, this kinda sucks... but I'm writing it about my college audition that's coming up this Saturday. I'm already so scared that it makes me want to cry just writing about it!

Most of us go to our grave with our music still inside of us.

wow!! this puts into words exactly how i felt about big piano recitals when i was still in all of that.  Very nice... it flowed so well and seemed  like each line was the natural choice.  Thanx for the read.

Erica~
This is excellent.
Not only did you do a great job with the format,
but you expressed a part of your heart as well.
I KNOW that you will do wonderfully in your audition.
Your talent, together with your faith, will get you through.
Beautiful response to the challenge, my friend.
Hugs,
~Vicky

This is exactly how I feel right now, I have an audition for "all states" this Saturday.  Which means hundreds of people from across Connecticut are auditioning for the same position as me.  Although you are probably more nervous, I can definitly relate to you.  Good luck!

It was there from the start.  

Heh... anyways... good writing, Erica.  I'm glad to have you back in Teen, we all missed you, even if nobody remembers who you are.
