I Can't Sing

I can't sing as many have said So, I write poetry instead, To sing others have said, I have not the voice So, inciting is now my choice. I wish truly that I could carry a note From all the words that I have wrote, I can't express my feelings in song by singing When love and hope I wish to be bringing. When with inspiration I am feeling And when with words I want to be healing, In a form of a poem I will then write But, in the form of a song I won't sing to recite. While I'm in the shower My voice I once believed had the greatest power, As if I were there singing on stage I know that I would certainly be the rage. Then the people who were living next door They complained constantly about the roar, They ask or wanna know why am I crying Or am I suffering or maybe even dying. I wish that I could carry a note From words that I have wrote, And then I could close my eyes to listen My soul I know would then surely glisten. Randy L. McClave
