6 Strings


Symbolic things they are
Or appear to be 
My six strings 
Each of it's own 
Character 
Individual in it's 
Simplicity
My six strings 

String E 
Everybody loves it 
A beautiful sound
Deceptive sound 
Made from echos 
You can't quite escape 
My E string 
Irresistible 

String A 
Accurate and accepted 
Widely renowned 
Sounding peace 
Through its vibe 
And different perspectives 
My A string 
Glorified 

String D 
Dampened but powered 
By a misconceived sound 
Misunderstood sound 
Quite chilling of a noise 
An underrated piece 
My D string 
Questioned 

String G 
Guided yet misled 
Backwards in reality 
Resented through the eyes 
Of The beholder 
But welcomed in mine
My G string 
Contradicted 

String B 
Beautifully over-tuned 
A high pitch 
Bellow of sorts 
Hard on the ears 
But easy on the mind 
My B string 
Uncontrolled 

String E 
Everybody hates it 
Resented and disrespected 
Underrated and unloved 
Perceived as my worst string 
For reasons unknown 
My E String 
Scorned 

Six different strings 
Six different sounds 
Six different looks 
Six different abilities 
Six different strengths 
Six different weaknesses 
All my strings 
A piece of me 

Sections of my being 
Reside in these strings
They play the sound, 
Produce the music,
My separate personalities 
Instruct them to 
My six strings... 
My six faces...
