I listened to myself today

I listened to myself today

There weren’t notes
Nor musical instruments
Neither jolly beats
That accompanied the song
That was sang by my soul

There was just
A constant flow of memories
Of long kept hatred, pain, and anguish

I listened to myself today

There weren’t notes
Nor musical instruments
Neither jolly beats
That accompanied the song
That was sang by my soul

There was just the beating of my heart
The unceasing thump
Of that fragile little thing
Which had long held everything in

I listened to myself today

There weren’t notes
Nor musical instruments
Neither jolly beats
That accompanied the song
That was sang by my soul

There was just me
And the quiet sound of my breathing
Me and my poignant thinking
Silently taking it all in and getting ready
To finally let it all out

I listened to myself today

There weren’t notes
Nor musical instruments
Neither jolly beats
That accompanied the song
That was sang by my soul

There was just me…

Listening to myself.
