Bitterness of Efforts Wasted

Title: Bitterness of Efforts Wasted

Author: Christy Tse

Author's note: Written for my poor performance in the Grade 5 Piano Solo Competition. Despite how I played it as skillful as I could at home, I was unnerved when I faced the great grand piano and the judge, so I played very ill. It was most disappointing for me, as I had practiced.

¡@

I don't know what was in my mind,

When I performed, I seemed blind.

My blood boils and then becomes cold,

but not a single tear can flow,

The reason for this failure I don't know.

My efforts are wasted,

Now, I firmly state,

This song I shall never again, play
