Im Not Singing Alone Poem by Desiree Whitamore

everytime the song changes
a new tune comes into play
and its almost like i'm waiting
for you to recognize the change

i sing along if i know the words
i beat it out with my hands
maybe strum the air guitar
before thanking all my fans

and usually i sigh when it ends
and wish you wouldve seen
that while im shy on the outside
when i'm alone its a different scene

i wish i didnt have to say
that everything was fine
when clearly nothing was
and still won't be next time

so as this curse takes control
i still sing into the comb
and as the tear burns my skin
in my mind i'm not alone
