It's a failed poem as only had 20 minutes and I know I won't go back to the idea of trumpeter's hearing but I was momentarily convinced it would go places haha. It's got a moral of the story somewhere in there about recognising when you're pushing yourself too hard at least.
I wondered about the trumpeters ear
Pondered if their eustachian tube always was clear
For blowing with force is a trusty fix
I googled it but the fix has a glitch
Too much pressure causes damage
They love to trumpet so they manage
Poor trumpeters with their damaged hearing
Shows how we perpetuate sometimes what we're fearing
We see too much pressure but push on
We'll be ok when the rush is gone
But the rush doesn't go and we're swept along
That's where it really starts to go wrong
I'm ok, don't worry about me
Look how I cope with difficulty
Throw me a curve ball and I'll fly
But in a moment of quiet I curl up and cry
I like to cope, I'll trumpet that I'm fine
Paralysing my eardrums and my mind
Rocking my balance right off kilter
I don't really put effort into trying to filter
So I write things down and process a bit
Establish some boundaries and where they fit
I'll always get carried away when a tune plays
Too distracted to finish this now anyways
