The Music In Me

I look inside the mirror

And see the person staring back at me.

Someone inside me's singing,

Singing joyfully.

She sings a song of sixpens,

Of lickin' chickens and

Stinky cheesemen.



Then she changes to a minor key

And mourns for what she's lost

And what she'll never ever see.

Requiem bells peal in perfect harmony.



I silence her then,

But I can't help but think:

"I wish I could sing like her,

Could soar to pitches both high and low,

Could start a trail of tears or summon a smile,

All with the sound of my voice."
