Excellence Award in the 'The Write Track 2015' competition

She didn't feel important.
She felt useless.
But all that changed,
When she fell for music.
She didn't know she could get this far,
With simply strumming strings on a guitar.
Strings went to chords and so much glee,
When she could be happy and free.
She bought a guitar with the money she had,
And she got one that wasn't too bad.
Now she thanks the little quaver,
That caught her eye and changed her life,
Forever.
