An Island All Alone
Should I fall isolated
On an island all my own
I’d wish for a break,
A relief,
Or pause.
From all the worries,
Anxieties,
And vain wishes,
Circulating through my mind
Complain and draining.
I’d plug my ears to silence the voices
Only to hear my pulse,
A deafening defeat.
Because is not a beat.
A base,
A synethzier,
An instrumental crescendo…
If only I had a distraction,
A voice,
Or melody.
An ear worm of harmonies
Drowning my inner cacophonies.
Lyrics.
Songs.
Music.
Playlists.
Blissful distraction.
White noise.
Whilst I work out my problems
Through theirs.
On an island all alone.
Emotions, fears, conundrums…
Advantageously not my own.
So…
Should I fall isolated
In seas of worry,
Sands of fatigue,
And sky of apprehension.
On an island alone,
I’d never leave my music.
