The Pianist

I am a pianist,

Fingers moving across the keys rapidly,

Melodious sound filling my ears,

A crowd of people cheering my name.


I could be a pianist.

I could compose something beautiful,

And I could showcase it to the world

Where I would touch the hearts of everyone.


I am not a pianist.

My fingers don't move fast enough,

The keys only click and clack,

And what I create is not to be heard.


I am a writer.

My work isn't a song,

But maybe someone will read it

And hear music in it.


I am a writer.

Fingers moving across the keys rapidly,

Melodious sound filling my ears,

A crowd of people awaiting my next piece.
