The Mediocre Composer

So many sleepless nights
that I can smell coffee in my urine,
wondering if anyone will be
feeling as inadequate as me.

Why is it so hard
to make something sound easy?
Will I complete anything to
anyone's fruition?

To my own?
To pleasure?
Or always to pain?

I am just the ruddy-faced girl
trying to turn a piano into an instrument
or at least a tool.

Wanting to put the rapture in others
that music has put in me.

All I have are words
and the songs of my heart,
which are quite odd,
but then again,

I myself, am quite odd,
and I can cause smiles,
and I know
more than anyone,

that a smile can save a life.
