Why are we not aiming higher?

 When I see you so focus

so concentrated

when I hear you creating an opus

so fascinated.


It is only you and the music

you and the black and white keys

completely in sync

and in perfect ease


I wonder why you are not aiming higher

you are so talented

and you are still trapped by a spider

in a web of false charmed


Your melodies are poor magic

just you there playing your creative music

attracting all the feelings that are pragmatic

it is fundamentally therapeutic.


You could do more, get more

you could touch the sky

and even Mars and further explore

but you stay there, so shy.


I just wonder why?

all that talent wasted,

locked in a room

for only 1 person to enjoy.
