The Exam

Notes on a page, its almost time,
Songs like the radio in my mind.
Fingers dancing across the keys,
Playing notes so easily.

Scales like weights,
Training your mind,
Muscle memory over time.

Examiner sitting across room,
Stress upon your every move.

Fingers moving down the keys,
Pages turning now with ease,
Pieces, scales over soon,
Music flows around the room.
