A heavy weight on my neck
This crafted piece of metal in my hands
Alone, it’s a piece of art
With my breathe and fingers,
It is music

Music that can express a feeling
So powerful and loud
It can calm like a bird’s song
Or it can depress like a rainy day

The smoothness of the keys
Beneath my fingers
The taste of wood
As I breathe through the mouthpiece
It’s a part of me

It’s my voice when I don’t want to speak
It sings the emotions I scream
Turns it into a sweet melody
My saxophone
