Sad Song Poem by Abdul Wahab

frequently we take
to singing
no matter if we are trained or not
that way
you are a singer too
you begin singing
but the tune is not sweet
you change the theme
and turn to saddest ones
people applaud
but they don't know
you break and bleed
deep inside

then you realize
you don't take singing
to be sad
delight is your ultimate goal
you hesitate
but continue singing
you are close to the ending
of the song
the ending brings you something
that makes you glad
and you go to be ready again
to sing the next song
