Jade Kay
The Pianist
There was a
She often wished to play all day.
The serenading tunes she created
They could not be debated.
This passion she could not get out her head
She even thought about it while laying in bed.
But she was a disgrace
To the teachers who wished her to be replaced.
For her grades were terrible
And Jade was a rebel.
Refusing to even try
Therefore the teachers attitude toward her was very dry.
Seeing her strut through the hallways
People often looked at her in dismay.
Her thrifty clothes turned heads
Jades favorites shoes were shiny and red.
Talented she was when it came to keys
Hands running over them, making the audience pleased.
She never missed a note
And every one she had wrote.
No matter the crowd they were always fascinated
Of the young lady who was very dedicated.
A young pianist at heart
Was hidden behind this piece of art.
The Other Side of Jade
Jade felt at home sitting before the piano but the crowd made everything awkward. Their eyes focusing in on her ready for the first note to ring out through the auditorium. Jade had always been confident but this was her first performance .She wore the most unique things that you couldn’t find in just any typical teenage shopping spot. She stood out and that didn’t help as she sat center stage. Examining the crowd she noticed everyone looked dead. The vibe was...well there was no vibe, it was just empty and quiet. In the crowd she spotted her best friend Rachel smiling super hard in the midst of all her classmates who often gave her rude looks in the hallways. The teacher section didn’t make her feel any better. See Jade was a straight D student. She disappointed her teachers and none of them had faith in her because her lack of effort. Her Biology teacher Mrs. Rogers was front row, she told Jade she wasn’t going to amount to anything in life, this was her chance to prove her wrong. This gave her a spark of motivation she placed her hands on the piano and began to play. The audience immediately scooted to the edges of their chairs, their eyes stared in amazement. Jade glanced up seeing the shocked faces and smiled beginning to play even more vigorously. Fingers running up and down the piano ,she had never played like this before, not even when practicing. She didn't know where this was coming from but her confidence was at its max and she felt energized as if she could conquer the world.
Ending the song dramatically the crowd exploded with applause standing to their feet, even Mrs. Rogers. Tears of joy streamed down Jade’s face she did what felt like the impossible. This talent she had hidden for so long had been discovered and it made her feel ten times better about herself. All the discouraging words from her teachers meant nothing she had just showed the world that Jade Kay was going to be a successful pianist.
