The Best Way to Tell a Story
Perhaps it's through an intricate dance
that perfectly depicts each twist a turn of emotion
Each beat of the drum now the beat of your heart
That dances along to a steady rhythm
And prevents it from racing
Maybe it's through a piece of music
where once graceful fingers begin to forcefully press keys
Or pluck strings just the slightest bit harder
til the anger is hardly recognisable
now disguised as a soothing melody
What about simply writing it down?
In a story about monsters with crimson red eyes
and pointed teeth that form sinister grins
but also fear, fear that can be overcome
If you're willing to try hard enough
Everyone finds their own unique way
Even the quietest person must express themselves
Often no words are needed at all
But one thing I've learnt over time is that
You can never tell someone's story for them.
