And

I opened my window 

and

It smelled like summer

and

The cool night air

Wasn’t cool enough

and

It felt like summer

and

That’s when it hit me

That these days go by

And I’m wasting them as all kids should

I could do something with my life this summer

and

I could go out

and

Be someone

and

Do something

Important

Be something

Important

Create something

That matters

Even up here in my room

and 

That’s when I sat down

With my book of music theory 

and

Scale studies

and

Another audition piece

(Will I ever be done auditioning)

and

Other things I don’t understand

Yet

and

Went to work on all the things I should’ve cared about this year

Because now

I have the time to

and

I could be someone for once

Even if

It’s only for myself 

For now
