Fault within me

Born Broken

I am different

You may be too

Where people see danger and red lights

I see just an ordinary object

Where people may feel safe

I feel like a knot of nerves

I am always prepared for "worst case scenarios"

You may be that way too

I don't hear music

I hear and see the feelings of the people making the music

They may portray parts of their past

They may portray broken hearts of past relationships

They may portray their favorite memory

May it be a birthday where they got that one coveted gift that they had wanted since forever

Or marching down a street protesting

They may portray pain and sorrow

I see two different ways

Instead of seeing one of myself

I see two

One is usually crying or laughing

The other is usually running

Running from what?

Running from pain

Running from hate

Running from hurt

But what if she is running to something?

Running to freedome

Running to power

Running to escape...

Running to express herself?

But doesn't she do that through music?

Yes, But sometimes people don't understand

You may be too
