Waves of vibration thrum around me, 

Immediately causing the haywire that is my brain 

To pause,

Ease into the newly found rhythm, 

And process the words that are more familiar to me

Than the letters of my own name. 

The beads of notes strung together 

Wrap perfectly around my 

Wrist, 

Neck, 

Pulse, 

Causing my veins to sway to the 

Sweet melodies, 

And take a grateful breath of change

From the 

Harsh cacophony

Of my life.  

Turned to the loudest, 

Yet softest it can be, 

I sit back and let a true smile slip,

As the music almost demands 

My muscles to ease, 

And my haunting eyes 

To steal back their lost 

Light and mirth.

The simple words and tunes

Reach for me, 

Lift the weight off my shoulders, 

And unclasp the vise like hold 

My insecurities have on my 

Pounding, 

Pleading

Heart. 

Almost instantly, 

My lips start syncing 

To the addictive lyrics,

Like a chant, 

A prayer, 

For this glorious lifeline that 

Releases me, 

Distracts me, 

Poisons me, 

With sinfully beautiful words and tunes

That drug me to drown in a sea of 

Music,

Finally giving me

Peace.
