She didn’t care for it,
This habit of mine,
To sing, to hum,
To whistle a tune.
She said it was rude,
To make noise without reason.
She said it was childish,
To be so carefree.
But I didn’t care.
I would sing if I wanted to.
Sometimes in a whisper,
Sometimes as loud as the storm.
Because it made me feel whole.
It reminded me of all my dreams.
Of a world where people were happy,
And music was the language of the soul.
