Frustration grips fingers,
They want to play, play, play.

Importance, Impatience (“Be Patient!”),
Unfairness, Stress (“Calm down!”),
Headaches, Fatigue,
Pressure, Pressure, Pressure.

Persistence leads to Perfection they say,
(“Practice makes Perfect!”)
Untrue, untrue, all untrue!
How does one reach something
Which does not exist?

Want to but don’t,
Need to but can’t,
Will do but when
And how?

Want to live!
Love people!
Love music!
Love life!

Life is should be longer,
There’s no time to live.
