In the Mood

She's in the mood But everyone is playing She'd play too if she could But she's just praying For someone to listen To a concert of words She plucks like chords A harmony when written, As she conducts her pen Like a scalpel she dissects The truth of her life and then She spills onto all her secrets Dark and many; Entrenched and heavy; But she's digging Fighting and kicking Through the black tar Layers laid thick Seen at a glance from afar And brick by brick She cracks the walls Widening the halls She's writing through To break a smile And not be blue, This will take awhile...
