Make Me Human # 2: Guitar
Your Personification Prompt: Write about the perspective of a Guitar. All forms are allowed. Fun points to someone who adds an extra angle as a famous person's guitar. You will be judged on creativity, and how well you personify the object. Brevity and use of language will be considered as well as popularity, but the winner will be ultimately chosen by me based on personal preference. Please tag me @ChrisSadhill in the comments and be sure to have fun. Happy writing.

I’m All Ears
I fret that all the possible songs have been written already.
I fret that all the possible rhymes have been found already.
I fret that all that can be played has been heard already.
I fret because I sit alone, untuned, unstrummed, with threadbare strings.
I fret that all possible life has been lived already.
I fret that all the possible mates have partnered already.
I fret that all there is has become obsolete already.
I fret because I am alone, marooned, unsung, on box springs.
Perhaps there are rhymes out there unspoken.
And songs still unwritten.
And performances yet need to be heard.
Perhaps I need to shut up and listen.
