“Music should be so beautiful”

I sit here thinking life is lies,
Why am I so small?
I barely have the strength to fly
And instead I’d rather fall.
It’s a black and white world,
It rough and its tough,
Everything is so overwhelming,
It’s becoming too much.
Ascent, descent,
It’s always the same,
I play these fine notes,
The tune in my brain.

And the colours that escape
Thrill my mind,
As ascent and descent,
The notes are played.

With a mountain to climb
For every sound,
My body is tired
As I move up and down.
I sit on a black bench
In a white world,
Wishing that music
Was easier made.
And the rows of black benches
That stretch out behind me,
Sit empty and useless
As far as I can see,
But I still play music,
Alone with me.

The title is from a quote that was used in the photomanipulation that I saw that inspired me to write this poem. The quote is by Benjamin Britten, used in the deviation below :D!
Please see ~Windcharmer's photo "Music should be so beautiful" at: [link] This was my inspiration :)

It is late and I was bored so I decided to write! Tell me if you like it :)
