Melodious Chains

Strum of a guitar Beat of a drum Note of a piano Bar by bar Melodies flood my mind My head sways with the rhythm Chains of harmony bring me to tears Causing my heart to palpitate My eyes to close And my body to breathe Inhaling peace Exhaling the things that aggravate me Bursting into song Placing my notes upon pages And enveloping them in melodies Breaking emotional barriers Purging me Crying from the pain piercing my bosom Releasing melodious letters through ink Forming words that reveal me to you Melodious chains Bound by the shackles of a whole note Refusing to be trapped in dichotomy Slavery tangles me If music is a ball and chain Then I love being a slave Soothing my anger Drying all my tears Erasing depression Obligating me to paint a smile on my face Crowding my emptiness Chaperoning my soul I will never be alone Draining hatred Instilling love Discovering the good, the bad, and the ugly I feel inside I simply follow your stride Melodious chains I wish to learn the tricks of your trade!
