Ahh.. escaping into music. Hoping that someone will hear... mh.

I like the way you phrase your stanzas. =D They're very poetic and have rhythm despite being free-verse. Good job!

Good poem, but I think that everyone needed to just stop thinking about how much better the other bands were and just enjoy the music. Sorry, this is just me ranting. Anyways, it's still a good poem.

I can see your escape into the notes during that moment. It may sound harsh, but no matter how good you may be there is always someone better. If I may ask for your company in this, what makes me keep going is that statement to me means that I can always get better. I'm sure you could too.

"Inferiority" is too long...six whole syllables. If one word is more syllables than your average line, try to find a replacement...
Other than that..."mercuric". LOVE THAT WORD. And everything else about it. And also...don't get down about not being as good as some rather inhuman people with nothing better to do than practice. MY brother was C3 as a freshman and he's Symphonic now, which just shows...!
Love ya. And I'm still recovering from the concert. And it's really late. And I'm babbling. And this is the fifth time a sentence has started with "and" in this review.

another great piece of work once again...im always impressed, keep writing...and haha i felt the same way~

relax. challenge your butt off and you'll do fine.

me likes the phrase "lighting silver mercury" *claps*
