[hometext] => don't read any of this literally, its just analogies
[bodytext] => You know how when you press the pedal on a piano and it makes all the notes last longer and run together, and how if you get one note wrong the whole rest of the piece sounds badn and even if you don't get a note wrong it sounds like a jumbled mess in the end anyways? Or how the wrong note is so sclose at hand you know it's as good as inevitable? Or maybe you just keep messing up and the audience just keeps booing you and yelling at you, never stopping but even when you play the right note they still yell at you and exaggerate their points to the fullest and only see what they want to see and wont give you a break no matter what you do? I know Or maybe It's the other way around...You play it good, flawless perhaps but nothing out of the ordinary, but good? Maybe people congradualte you and you know you did o.k. but know you have the potential for so much more? Perhaps you don't feel as though the "congradualtions!" are sincere? Maybe you hated the way you did everything? I know that Perhaps you didn't play the piece at all? Maybe you were out in the audience watching someone do something so hard so perfectly? They never missed a beat? Everyone loves them? They did what you only wish you could do? And yet, do you stand and applaud? You tell them it was amazing and pretend to be happy for them? You pretend to like the fact that they're so much better than you'll ever hope to be? But then you think yourself selfish for wanting to be better and only thinking of yourself? I know that feeling [comments] => 1 [counter] => 254 [topic] => 31 [informant] => SmileSkinDeep [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 2 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => StoryPoetry )
