Drummers

Hundreds of little drummers sit upon my roof

Incessantly pounding the shingles with fervor

They play a song of rage and calm

Happiness and sadness

Uproar and peace

Years and years worth of wars, love, pain, and joy

Falling simultaneously above my head

Rolling swiftly down the slant

Dripping onto the ground

In small drops 

 

Done Hiding

My fingers glide across the keys

Playing notes that touch the very core of my soul

Expressing the pain in a way that only music can

Tears stream down my cheeks as I finally let out my emotions

Pent up for so long because of pride, embarrassment, and fear

I want to be done hiding

So I'm letting it out in one of the only ways I know how
