Dont Sing

I wanted to sing... I wanted to harmonize, I wanted to awe you with that high note. It hurt me, I cried, when I tried... So badly I wanted to sing. They said: ‘’don’t sing’’ Those cruel words crushed my everything, my heart, my mind, my soul... ''You can’t sing,'' people said; Made me want to fight. Singing would have been my claim to fame, I guess they could be right. But I still made attempts here and there, especially around the alcoholically impaired. But they were the worst of my critiques they said ‘’don’t sing ‘’ They said; ‘’I sounded like a goat in heat'' I’d sing solo, like grandma told me; She said: ''sing so-low that no one hears you’’ The scorning looks and then the words ‘’don’t sing'‘; Choked me, broke me. I still want to sing, but I guess singing was not my plight; So, I just write.!
