Alcoholically Poems | Examples

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.!
