This is my Melody

I compose music a lot and sometimes I forget that originality is what makes some of the best pieces.

This is My Melody 

I let the notes glide from my head to the keys 
And the story begins to pan out
The melody flows with very much ease 
But I know something is missing 

The tempo picks up with my frustration 
I think about Mozart and Chopin 
Why can't my piece match up to their creation?
Maybe I'm not a musician 

Darker tones entwine with the melody of grace 
Why does this sound wrong?
Then I remember originality should be my base
And from there the story goes on 

My melody was missing a piece of me 
How could I forget?
Now I set my imagination free
This is my melody

This is amazing and so true. Every piece of music is as original as its composer. I like that it shows the struggle a musician has to go through to make there music sound good and not to copy someone else no matter how they idolize others.
Very well done!

This is cute, a "meta-writing" piece (writing about writing). I think you were trying to stick to a rhyme scheme, but there are some moments where it falls apart. I like the idea of writing poetry about music, but I think with some reworking this could be better.

This is inspiring. To gather true inspiration from ourselves, our deeper selves requires our true conscientiousness which is indeed free. Great penning!
