i sing
every hour
under my breath,
at the top of my lungs.
i think
every second
about injustice
and the power of love.
i cry
once a day
for lives lost
in needless ways.
an aura
of futility
permeates all,
threatens despair.
yet, i sing
because music
lightens my heart;
takes away the hurt.

I’d say that’s a good reason to sing.

Of course I have an awful voice, but that never keeps me from singing.

I’m right there with you in having a terrible voice, but I agree with you: we shouldn’t let that stop us!
