Green Room Psycho

Folder: 
Endure

Nervous newcomers wait for rates

For the “Eurovision Song Contest”

Points to ponder failure, success

To the audience

Today they gave their best.

Backstage in the green room

The atmosphere is tense.

Music minded teenyboppers

Impatience written large

Wait for their results.

Rise and fall of hopes,

Lightning strike

Stab in chest.

The winner takes it all

Again unlucky, feeling small

The triumphant,

On the stage stay tall.

Losers hold

Back tears, it is just another fall.

Determination and will, stretch miles

The powers of endurance pay with smiles.

Music is the key not mere battles, win defeat.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Was feeling their pain.
