Music

It flows through me,
Like a river coursing through my veins,
Making my heartbeat quicken,
Yet keeping my breath calm and even.

It lets emotion pour out of me,
As I lay there in silence.

Such a meaningless part of life to some in society,
Yet for others,
It's the reason they still stand today.

It's all the same,
Yet so versatile,
Some will defend to the death it's importance,
While others simply push it to the side,
As a form of pure entertainment.

To me it's so much more than words sung from paper,
From rhythms quietly echoing in the background,
Or being blasted from electronic mix boards.

To me music is a feeling,
A lifestyle,
A way of being,
Of expressing myself,
Who I truly  am.

To me music is not just a symbol,
Or a status;
To me,
Music is life.
