Stature

My old guitar
is outta tune
But thats not far
from where I loom.

The brittle strings
once strong and proud
Still try to ring
just not as loud.

My crackling voice
a message blurred
I have no choice
by age obscured.

This scratched up frame
my loss of drive
Should hope refrain
from which i strive?
