The Bright Violin

My talismanic object is a violin,
a violin with a lot of history behind it.
I found it in my home country
in a very broken state
but after some tender love and care,
my violin has become my bro.
I play my friend in front of a local crowd
or a boring examiner.
It makes me think that it's the instrument
that makes the musician, like it's the sword
that makes the warrior.
