My intoxication


It lies not in liquids nor in substances It makes me afflicted From circumstances The banging of the beats The thud of the kicks Has me left off a leash It Flows fluidly off my lips I Witness the sound waves travelling I Witness its touch I Witness my heart anticipating I Witness the rush The switch is overwhelming My mistakes struggle to catch me Its strength is intoxicating Showing me the earned relief Feeling possessed I have immense energy Happiness guaranteed My past is in jeopardy Swaying in circle's Every chant grows louder Tangled in a barbel Every fear loses its power It soothes my soul It gives me control
