What I Need

It is my greatest love,

My deepest passion,

The keeper of my sanity,

And the pillar of my strength.

Without it,

I am an abyss.

It resonates within my head,

And within my heart.

It is the pedestal on which my soul rests its fragile head,

The path on which I travel,

The story of my past,

And the hope for my future.

I will sing until the day I die,

For without music, I cannot stay alive.
