Anxious to know what I got
Reading everyone's status saying they got a superior
Wildly texting my friends to see if they saw what I received
My brain tells me that I got a 2
But I secretly wanted to think that I got a superior
A little red notification soon flashes in the corner
It's from my friend responding to my question
"Congrats. You got a 2!
Immediately I was crushed
I felt defeated
Even though a 2 is still good, it wasn't a 1
I knew I was going to get an excellent
I was just hoping in my heart that a miracle would happen
That the judge felt giving
I do not blame anyone
Not the judge
Not the band director
Not me.
I have no regrets
I felt that I did all I could
