The songs we sing

by Everlasting   Jan 7, 2016


The songs we sing
are nothing but notes;
just knots in our chests,
melodies in our throats,
that ache to be heard
that yearn to unknot themselves
from our vocal chords
from the symphonies
of our thoughts.

Edit: for some unknown reason, this poem sounds familiar. I remember writing it but I feel like I might have read something similar somewhere.

    Inspired by another piece or not, this is wonderful, Lucero. A lovely, thoughtful little piece of writing. Well done and all the very best,
