My life's a Song

of many Songs.

Some are sad,

they Sing the anguish of my soul

when I'm hurt and all along.

Others are boring,

cause I'm still human.

Life's no always high or low,

sometimes it's just a steady middle C.
Others still are joyful!

When I find a satisfying harmony 

that complements my melody.

At times I think there's scarcely room

for all the notes I wish to Sing.

Cause I just want the world to know...

Me.

I like the way your voice was presented through this, as if you wanted to tell the world who you truly are in one song, but you don't want to leave any little piece out. I definitely feel this way at times, which makes this really relatable :) Another outstanding poem, Miss Nightingale. Keep it up! CX
