Silence is Death


Your head pounds Your hands shake Your heart aches You need a break You start to sweat And then you let the music take control. Music is the drug for me All day and all night From the moment I wake up, I feel the need to fill my ear drums With guitars or drums Hate or love songs, Doesn't matter I need it in me. But not just in me, I need it throughout me. Pumping in and out of every vein. I want it so bad that it hurts my brain And without it what? Silence is left. You're left with your own thoughts And that is death.

<p>My best friend is a musician and he is amazing, as well he has been a Power Writer with me, so I am no stranger to poems about the love for music. I absolutely love how you started out with the silence and in my head I can just hear it getting louder and louder and becoming a giant symphany. It was beautiful. Thank you.</p><p>Becca.</p>
