Musical Sanctuary

I am lost and all alone

But I feel it

Once again I’m just a blown out candle

But I feel it

There are tears dripping down my face

But I feel it

My heart is beating faster than the train during rush hour

But I feel it

The worst has come and I can’t bear another second of this over dramatic and ever too intensive world

But I feel it

 

My mind is racing and my hands and body are going numb

But I can barely hear it

My life feels like it could come to an end right here and now with all this pain I am carrying

But I can almost hear it

My heart is pounding faster and faster and my ears are tuning in as a slight hum trickles its way into my brain

I think I can hear it

I might have made the biggest mistake known to all living creatures that ever walked this planet

But I hear it

 

My senses are tingling and my eyes are starting to flutter

My mind is unsure if it should come back to reality or stay in this life numbing moment of sadness

But

My hands are starting to move and my hips are beginning to sway

My feet are joining in and tapping to the rhythm

My whole body is coming alive as the sound fills the room

My senses want to join in and contribute like there’s some kind of celebration

I CAN HEAR IT

I CAN FEEL IT

 

Suddenly I am filled with joy

I want to laugh

I want to scream

I want to shout from the top of every roof in this whole city

I want to sing

I want to smile

I don’t understand why

I don’t understand how

I don’t understand when

I don’t understand where

But the music fills my whole self with a symphony of happiness and lifts my soul

Nothing else matters except the music that is playing and the sounds that fill the room

Music is my sanctuary

My flame has been ignited once more

I can hear it

And

I am Happy
