Passive

Hands clasp, controlling the fidgeting that exposes anxiety.
Finding calm amidst anxiety, hands clasped in control. 🤝✨

Often neglected,
you are left 
with nothing 
to do
while your twin 
works alone.

You watch 
you wait
your fingers 
fidget
until extended
a turn.

Yet, 
when I grant
any freedom
to step up
you surrender 
to the struggle 
too soon.

I accept blame
It’s my fault
I didn’t rouse 
your right
to spur a spirit
of discovery
to develop
your separate skills.

Piano Lessons

A black and white extreme close-up of hands gracefully playing a scale on the piano keys, showcasing musical talent and skill.
Witness the elegance of musical mastery as hands glide across the piano keys. 🎹🎶

Isn’t it amazing
Beautiful harmonies
Left and Right can make?

Playing different roles
Tapping different keys
In concert creating songs.

Your music wouldn’t be as rich
Feeling unbalanced
If one side were excluded.
