A guitar isn’t a guitar unless it’s being played.
When held in the hands of a fragile girl so alone in the world, it is an instrument of her creativity.
A guitar isn’t a guitar unless it’s being played.
When it’s shared with classmates who neither care for the music or her, it is a herald of her despair.
A guitar isn’t a guitar unless it’s being played.
When it is silenced again and again by the voices of another, it is a silent scream of rebellion.
A guitar isn’t a guitar unless it’s being played.
When it whispers across the rooftops to her sole companion, it is a messenger of her love.
A guitar isn’t a guitar unless it’s being played.
When it’s being displayed for the world to see and care, it is a booming voice proclaiming, ‘This is me!’
A guitar isn’t a guitar unless it’s being played.
When it’s fragile veins snap from the stress and all the music inside bleeds out onto the floor, it is a coffin for her hopes and dreams.
A guitar isn’t a guitar unless it’s being played.
When it hangs on the wall of her room and watches as she stuffs something else inside that backpack of hers, it isn’t a guitar anymore.
Because a guitar isn’t a guitar unless it’s being played.
