I Will Sing

I sing when I'm happy,

Crooning cheerfully,

Tunefully sharing jubilation.

I hope all hear the pleasure I bring,

But it matters not, I will sing.

*

I sing when I'm mournful,

Soft and low, a somber tempo.

Like a prayer to heaven.

Letting frustrations ring,

Even in sadness, I will sing.

*

I sing when I'm angry,

Belting out annoyances,

Perhaps too loudly.

Is "too enthusiastic" a thing?

If so, I don't care, I will sing.

*

The music is in me.

Why not let it out?

Better to sing

Than to pout, rant, or shout.

*

I sing every day

Because that's who I am.

It's when I am most content.

Like a bird on the wing.

I am music, I will sing.
