clear your mind,

erase any outside thoughts.

'what's for dinner tonight?'

'how did I do on that midterm?'

no.

it doesn't matter.

nothing matters,

except for the next few

moments ahead.

only think about

the lady sitting at the side,

with a clipboard and pursed lips.

just think about,

the hours upon hours of practice,

how your arms became noodles,

and how your shiny violin needs

a good player,

no, fantastic player,

to support that.

I am that player,

and I will rip through that song,

and I will wow the lady

with the pursed lips.

[to whoever is reading this: I'm just giving myself one last boost of confidence before my audition. self confidence goes a long way; push the insecurities away.]
