there's a song thrumming
in the depths of my soul
it keeps me awake
another drum pounding my skull
it's off key and eerie
no joy in its tone
and i cry a little
as the guitar begins to strum
it rattles my ribs
until i can't breathe
and i panic, oh, so much panic
when the piano strikes its keys
each note hits my heart
into an unnatural beat
and i try to silence the song
no victory, no feat
the song kills me slowly
as it breaks me down
and i wonder if anyone else hears
this strange, inward song

Poésiewords unspoken and lost, skittering away to plant themselves on paper. i'd love to hear feedback [it may or may not be vital for my self esteem]; thanks for taking the time to read my sad, silly thoughts. [lowercase intended.]
