POETRY PROMPT: JUST TO SING A SONG

Should your life be in danger just to sing your song?
Will dear friends become strangers when you sing your song?
Will the things that used to matter suddenly seem small?
Will the person that you once were
Be recognized at all?
All that you go through
Just to sing a song
All that you go through
Just to sing a song
If the crowd is overflowing or an audience of one,
Will the joy in what you’re doing still be there when you’re done?
Will your words need explaining even though they’re sincere?
Will anyone notice when you’re no longer here?

All you have to do
Just to sing your song
All you have to do
Just to sing your song

You said you gave your all
You really gave your all
And what does that mean?
Was it really for them?
Was it really for you?
Was it ever for me?

Nobody made you
But you sang your song
Nobody made you
But you sang your song

Hate there was so much pain
No cause for so much pain
The songs, they were free
Were they really for them?
Were they really for you?
It’s a lesson for me

Must say I’m glad you 
Tried to sing your song
Must say I’m sad you 
Gave all you had to
Let us hear your song
