Cannot Sing

I know I cannot sing

Yet I know the lyrics

And I know the song.

You hear my mom laud my voice

As I sham it to avert her tears

Whilst you keep on conjecturing

That why didn't I sing the other day.

So you bestow me benevolence,

Make me feel alleviated,

Anticipating to hear me sing.

Embracing my hand with care,

You escort me to the stage.

I evoke the lyrics

As I hark back the song

But have all my solicitude 

And veneration for you.

So ignoring my heart that has always 

Loved you and you only,

How could I sham it off

When you give me the mic

For I cannot sing.
