'I Will Sing This Someday' by Ravyn LaRue

I have never written a song
I thought of as good
But I’m not a believer
Of form in Art
Art is about emotion
Art is about healing
Art is something that has saved my life
I hope it’s also saved yours
I’m making a melody up on the spot
Since I wrote these lyrics in a coffee shop
Where pop-songs play
And fingers type
Pressed to plastic keys
As the rain falls down outside
But I wanted to write a song
Or at least try it again
Because singing means lots to me
As does poetry
And it seems a really awful shame
That I find it so difficult to combine them
Yet nevertheless that’s what I’m doing
Or trying to at least
And even if I find this failure
It’s better than to have gone without
Trying again
I wish I could walk the walk
In terms of truly not worrying
About what others think
I worry still
But only on account of certain opinions
Those who I hold dear
But maybe dearness
Shouldn’t be enough even
To let someone grab hold
Of the helm thats my life
Maybe I should go on like this
Recording myself
Aimlessly
Since those who complain
May not be brave enough to try themselves
And if my musicality sucks
And if you think me an awful person
For trying again
Something like this
Well I have no answer
You’re not bad
It only means
You didn’t like it
And no art is wrong
Even if I
The artist
Determine
This is the worst piece of music ever recorded in human history
It was an attempt
And it is Art
And I’m not a believer
Of form in Art
Art is about emotion
Art is about healing
Art is something that has saved my life
I hope it’s also saved yours
I love you all
