I Am an Emotional Piano | Charlotte Ma

Writer's picture: shsimagesshsimages

I am an emotional piano,

A beautiful piece of work that has perfect pearly white teeth

And polished cavities that fit in between the shiny teeth

I am unable to express love,

Born damaged, 51 keys carry no tune

Deep, low tunes breathe in me

I am the definition of sadness


Blue emotions roll over my keys,

One by one, flooded with the overwhelming sea of elephant-like waves.

I am incapable of love

Love is described in high notes,

Beautiful vibrant colors light the way of a dark place,

Turning the whole room warm in a gorgeous scent.

I am the opposite.


I am capable of sadness and regret.

These bitter emotions are translated in deep low notes,

Heavy like the Earth and loud as a canon.

Blue curvy lines, filling up the air with tears and frustration.

Turning the whole room quiet and filled with confused whispers.


As much as I try,

I am unable to express love.

Even though this will forever be my fate,

My love is described in silence.

You’ll know when I feel love and happiness...

When the sound of nothingness is released.


I am bothered by this nothingness.

But no matter what, they are still tapped proudly and strong...

Becoming the loveliest feeling in the world.

For I am still ...

an Emotional Piano
