"A Songwriter Sighs"

by Max Phineas

I never get this part right
Where words and spiraling string plucks intertwine
My rhythm is fine
...and not much more.

I like the melody this time, I do.
But the bass blares in my headphones;
a violent reminder
Of who I'll never be.

I'm going to share this with my boyfriend and hope he becomes content with the life we have but continues to play his music as a release. Any advice? I like this poem very much. Nice dive into the soul.

Ones own worse critic perhaps? Self revealing, coming to grips with reality?
