&quot;we all carry these things inside that no one else can see. they hold us down like anchors and they drown us out at sea.&quot;<br /> &quot;i&#039;m trying to figure out which parts of my personality are mine and which ones I created to please you&quot;


As my fingers slide gracefully over the ivory,
All my pain fades away.
I am peaceful,
At one with the piano, my salvation.

As the beautiful music reaches my ear,
My thoughts cloud over.
I am alone,
Lost in the music, my creation.

As the song reaches its climax,
My soul lifts with joy.
I am amazed,
Filled with pride at what I can do.

As the notes get softer and the melody slower,
My pain returns.
I am anxious.
Afraid of what is to come.

I wrote this piece when I was thinking about how I always feel when I play the piano. Playing the piano is a huge part of my life.
