Music


Necessity 

Need

Must have

Cannot live without

Music

A language that many know but very few understand

A platform in which I have often lost myself 

to the haunting realitites that reciprocate the pure agony I myself have felt

But also the place where my mind may go

to follow the very

Melody

That has calmed my shaking body many nights and days

A beautiful sound that I can always come to replay

The name I will give my daughter for she will always know

her name is 

Special

The way I feel when I close out the world around me

as time and energy seems to slow down

How I can tune out the reality of my insanity

When I can feel through the lyrics of 

Song

A pretty sound a bird is said to make in Spring

The way a body may learn to dance with another

in a perfect synchronization 

The beginning of two hearts working as one in

Harmony

The levels in which I find the skin on my body may chill

with intensity as the voices rise

Seeming to be a type of ambrisoa for the lost 

A grand entrance into a euphoric trance 

bringing everything together to create 

Sound

What one will make when in tears or laughter

The sense that is most important to know

for without it many are not complete

Just as I when I wake to the sound of 

Music

A necessity 

A need 

A must have

What I cannot live without
