Sour Notes

The white and black keys are soft

And gentle

And they play the most beautiful sound on earth.

But when you have a piano

That hasn't been touched in years,

It does more damage than good.

I remember the most skilled song I could play

Sounded so fluid three years later

Until I played that B flat.

I cringed and immediately let the note go

Then walked away

Because back then I had the mentality of

"what's the point of playing a song

If it just doesn't sound right?"
