I Will Sing This Someday

I have never written a song

I thought of as good

But I’m not a believer

Of form in Art

Art is about emotion

Art is about healing

Art is something that has saved my life

I hope it’s also saved yours

I’m making a melody up on the spot

Since I wrote these lyrics in a coffee shop

Where pop-songs play

And fingers type

Pressed to plastic keys

As the rain falls down outside

But I wanted to write a song

Or at least try it again

Because singing means lots to me

As does poetry

And it seems a really awful shame

That I find it so difficult to combine them

Yet nevertheless that’s what I’m doing

Or trying to at least

And even if I find this failure

It’s better than to have gone without

Trying again

I wish I could walk the walk

In terms of truly not worrying

About what others think

I worry still

But only on account of certain opinions

Those who I hold dear

But maybe dearness

Shouldn’t be enough even

To let someone grab hold

Of the helm thats my life

Maybe I should go on like this

Recording myself

Aimlessly

Since those who complain

May not be brave enough to try themselves

And if my musicality sucks

And if you think me an awful person

For trying again

Something like this

Well I have no answer

You’re not bad

It only means

You didn’t like it

And no art is wrong

Even if I

The artist

Determine 

This is the worst piece of music ever recorded in human history

It was an attempt

And it is Art

And I’m not a believer

Of form in Art

Art is about emotion

Art is about healing

Art is something that has saved my life

I hope it’s also saved yours

I love you all
