My Piano

Through its black keys I find solace Suddenly life’s music is unpleasant to my ears Every chord is out of tune Every beating I press is not so melodic Hearing wonderful pieces from my piano Gives my heart a wonderful relief The piece that has brought me fame Has stole my dignity for art’s sake My piano, are you still the constant masterpiece I own? The ultimate laborer through which my pieces have grown Are you still the pages that will give me a bright tomorrow Or just anther thorns of pain to bring me sorrow?
