my go-to song on play
volume up
don’t care how often i play it
because it’s never enough
song will always go
and i have no favorite part
because it is all my favorite
i listen and i am whole again
there is no other music
song makes me look to the heavens
question my sanity
my sobriety
my reality
until i realize that none of that matters
because song is what it is
i hear a new lyric every time i listen
even though i know it
by heart
i can anticipate its groove
and enjoy where it takes me
look around to the world that isn’t so bad
sometimes
even when it can be pretty bad
sometimes
i remember this when i have nothing
which is always
we always have nothing
but you can enjoy a moment every now and again
that is an element that is in this song
as everything is
and the timbre of the music swirls around
until there is no escape from what music brings
song is a different world
that i can’t begin to comprehend
