Sing Poem by Suzanne Hayasaki
Sing
Sit with me in quiet harmony.
Sing to me in that haunting tone.
Convey your intensity to me
Through your plaintive melodies.
Your art glances off me.
But it leaves a scar.
I may not hear you as you are.
I may filter you through my pain.
But you sink in like an ointment
That poisons as it cures.
I will let you eat away at the thick skin
That kept unpleasant sensations at bay.
Maybe your melancholic hope
Can reawaken parts of my soul
I thought had atrophied long ago
On my own labyrinthine path
Towards self-acceptance.

Rebecca I was listening to a young singer-songwriter. It was not so much her words but her tone that made me imagine what she was feeling. And I found that her melodies haunted me and kind of seeped in like a mild poison, and I started to realize that she was reminding me of my younger self. And what I can tell people of her generation is that all the self doubt and disappointment just makes you try harder, and gradually you come to form your own identity. I think as I age, I have more to say. Thanks for being such a consistent reader and commenter! I really appreciate your feedback.
Thank you again for taking the time to comment Rebecca!
