there are reasons that i ask if i can sing. i want to sing to you. i want you to hear me. i am tired of being quiet. can i sing to you? can i bare all of me to you? will you accept it? will you cover your ears?

there are reasons that i ask if i can sing. what do you… think of me? does it sound lovely when i sing? do i remind you of the melodies of the morning birds? when i sing, would you harmonize with me? or is it true - am i singing to a void? a void that wont sing back… is it all for naught…
