A Song
December 11, 2008
Sometimes things are tricky
The floor can be rickety
Decide what you need to fix
And then write your own lyrics
Start with finding your melody
That will show you who you should be
Trust yourself or loose who you are
And end up with more than a scar
The rhythm comes from within your heart
You’ve had it in you from the start
Let it soar in the wide open sky
Like a newly released butterfly
The chorus summarizes everything
The part that everyone wants to sing
Find your own chorus along the way
And everything else will be ok
Don’t forget to end with a bam
Let everybody hear the door slam

Being a music lover myself, this just really connected with me. A little suggestion - somehow the last couplet seemed a little bit in-your-face...maybe try using some different rhymed words with a little less of a forceful connotation? Unless that's the way you meant it to end :)
So here's my alternate ending (sorry if I am intruding on your poem) -
Finally comes the last major chords
A fitting reminder of all life's rewards.
Or something. Awesome writing!!

Of course this is a wonderful song. I filled in the wrong star - it should have been a five.
