Music is Life

Life Is Music

The screams filled the room like thunder,

Cutting through so simply

They were abrasive to the heart

as knives were to the skin.

Her eyes watched the sun shine oh so bright.

But the feelings inside her were drowning in spite.

The sun set fire to her eyes

She couldn't feel enough to smile or even to cry.

She sat for hours and listened to their words.

And all they did was smirk because this is what she deserved.

She reached in to her pocket and brought out another life

Where people weren't deceitful and ruined those who survive.

The words were sung with passion

as the songs ran through her ears.

Bringing her to another world

where pain was too weak to sear.

She could feel the ice cracking slowly

then falling apart.

Her heart had begun to warm up

because of this beautiful art.

She could feel a sense of freedom ripping out from the seams.

she knew that life could not always be kind,

or give you everything you need.

As the dark clouds inside her had started to disperse.

She could see the sun wasn't too bright down here on earth.

She had enough strength to go on for just another day

and experience this last day of life and see it in another way.

This sickness inside her would kill her body soon.

But the music that abides within her

had freed her from her enticing tomb.
