Choosing a Ballad for the Karaoke Contest

I choose to sing
a gentle song
in a soft ballad
I find my time and place.

A gentle song
in peace and love
I find my time and place
on a makeshift stage.

In peace and love
in subtleties of verse
on a makeshift stage
a new life I create.

In subtleties of verse
and in nuances of lyrics
a new life I create
intimacy found.

And in nuances of lyrics
feelings of my heart are conveyed
intimacy found
my performances graded and scored.

Feelings of my heart are conveyed
as I take my turn.
I chose to sing
a gentle song.
