hello younger me:

all I want to say is I'm sorry
i'm sorry for judging you so hard
for shaming you
for telling you you were ugly
useless, unloved, embarrassing
I'm so sorry for hurting your body
by not eating, eating little
thinking your weight would change
comparing your body with other girls
trying to look like them
act like them, wishing to be them
dressing like them to fit in
so pls forgive me
now i see how beautiful i am
i still shame myself
but i catch myself
i listen to what others tell me i am
how pretty, kind and lovable i am
and they prove it
                             sincerely
                             your older self

We were a traveling choir
1st Sopranos sang higher

Our harmony, so precise
Our sound could entice

Getting older Time to retire
Voices others respect admire

We had different goals In the end
We understood musical notes transcend

Romance Of Music in our soul
That feeling in a song will never let go

It’s an experience to remember
Especially the concerts in December

We all sang a cappella
18 voices looking for our fella

Inspired song;

The music in you
By John Denver

Footnote
This is John Denver’s
shortest song at 56 seconds.
This song has the most profound
effect over my entire life;

“ Music makes pictures,
and often tells stories
All of its magic, and all of its true
and all of the pictures and all of the stories all of the magic the music is you“

That’s it. The entire song
It’s song twice
It’s worth listening to and then
Perhaps you’ll understand what I mean.
BLT Webster’s Word of the Day
A cappella 11-6-24
Singing without instrumental, music

My stepsister was a coloratura
She took voice lessons to train her voice to be able to break a glass.  She had a gift and didn’t care. There’s not that many soprano Coloraturas in the world. it’s truly something to behold ..
I was told I had a beautiful voice,
but it pales into comparison to your sister.

I was in the elite group for six years. we travel to different places for competition competing against other a cappella choirs
But unless you had a voice like my stepsister, you’re not going to really got anywhere
with your music.
In high school, the school drama class did the play of West side story, and of course the actress could not sing. So I was off in the wings singing this songs, and she was mouthing the songs  as if she was singing... because she was in drama, and I was only in choir. I thought it was so silly because they were doing musicals. But I never wanted to be an actress then. later in college, I did star in a musical my first, and only time on stage .the bug did not bite me. I couldn’t wait to get off stage, but it was cool to have a standing ovation in a packed auditorium.
I also sang , The star spangle banner at graduation.I was an instructor. 5000 people three-story auditorium, quite amazing place. I was nervous.. I have had many adventures.
I could defined my life through Music Define moments in time. define moments in time. I could hear a song, and it will take me back to an epic Life eventsmarked by music.

Dreamy Night

Zeno
The moonlit sky hovers
a dark and empty street
A night submerged with wonder
and stillness

In a blissful voice, the night sang
about a faraway land,
where the pastures danced
and summer was everlasting

Lustrous knights roam the land
and the goblins lurks in the shadow
Like the darkness I lay on
As my bones relish in the calm
of this wonderful night

My daughter screamed,"I hate you,
You are not my mum,
Sorry dear I am your mum,
From the day I conceived you,
A gift from Allah,
Stamped and certified by Him as your mum.
I am not your magazine to browse through,
Not your mobile that you charge and use me as you wish,
Or change as and when you want to,
Nor am I your footwear,
That you can have as many pairs as you want,
Neither am I your cook,
Nor your driver or your ATM card,
That you can cash whenever you want.
Whether you like it or not,
I am your MUM,
A relationship  that can never be erased or deleted.
Catering and caring for you is not an obligation but my love for you-my daughter.

everyone believes in something
and when folk stop believing in God
they do not believe in nothing
no, they believe in anything.

Stealing from a thief
those phrases gone
Scales rebalance
words in song

Once recaptured
then released
The chorus joyful
— the world at peace
