Broken Keys Still Play
By Ita Akpan-Ita
Life is so full of humor
Some times you get it, other times it gets you
Guts you
and leaves you writhing on the floor
As you lay there, the days become long
Memories come and go like an old song
To find focus you must calm the sea
Hear the melodies, feel the beat
Its faint, so you question it
You could never make sounds so surreal
Strong strides that cause big tides
Maybe you should just cower and hide
But listen, Fear not
Be anxious for nothing
Do not dismay
Indeed, your broken keys still play
From noisy symphonies
To jagged tunes
Even to this day
Broken keys still play
Enjoy the new melodies
Embrace your new sounds
It’s always been you
Own it and be proud.
BROKEN KEYS STILL PLAY!
