Wordless.

I had a song stuck in my head today. You've probably never heard it before.

Why? Because it's my song. It's the song that plays in my head. It plays when I'm sad, hurt, happy, loved, scared, tired, overwhelmed, overjoyed, and upset. It's a song that has neither words, nor notes. I can't hum it, nor can I play it. It's too perfect for man, yet too flawed to be shown. This song is not made by me, for I could not compose such a complex piece. I didn't choose the rhythm or the beat. I didn't choose the style. No, some greater being that knows me better than I know myself chose everything.

At times I don't like the song. It's often atonal and cruel. Sometimes it's screechy and loud. It pierces my mind and I collapse, hoping to avoid it. But my song cannot be deleted. It cannot be stopped.

Other times the song is the most beautiful thing I have ever heard. The invisible melody floats through my thoughts and the meter is perfect. It pierces my soul and I rise up to be better than I can ever possibly be.

No one else can hear my song. It's a good thing too. For everyone has their own song, one to find, experience, and love.


There is no one I would rather be than me.
