(my attempt at slam poetry)
Music is the way I think,
the only thing that's right
I can live without my limbs,
my sense of smell, even my eyesight
But music
It carries me through every single day,
every endless night
And never let's me fall
As long as I still have a voice
I'll have a song to sing
It doesn't change a thing if you
"couldn't care less"
You Will Hear Me!
Yeah you could try to shut me up
But music!
Can't be silenced
It's in the trees
The clouds
The breeze
Music
Is every sound discovered that
No matter how hard you try
You can never think of a single word that could ever do it justice
It is life's constant companion
Wherever there is life
You will always hear its music
Even for those who cannot hear
The things around them
The things we hear
I'd like to think
Inside their head
A glorious symphony awaits
For that fateful day
when we find a way
to give sound
to those born without it
Music is loyal
Music
is free
Sometimes though, we fail to see
That
It can never be caged in
barred
Or hidden away
Believe me I've tried
And once it gets out
there is no stopping it even if you want to
Like the bridge of a song so powerful
You have no choice but to shout it to the heavens
Its like the sun
Slowly it rises
Getting brighter and brighter
Until you want to step outside into the brightest of its rays and scream
"Come on! Is that the best you've got?"
Music is rebellion
In its truest form
It will not be denied its rightful voice
Music gives people like me courage
Courage
to say the things
Normally hidden deep inside because
Some of those emotions
We, don't even understand
Don't even
want to understand
Because it makes us feel so strongly
It scares us
But music makes the worst of our fears sound empowering
the saddest of moments sound like a chorus that can only be described as angels who have yet to discover their wings
Weeping as they fall from the sky
Because there is no other way to describe such beauty
clouded by fear and loneliness
With music
Even the deepest darkest parts of ones soul
sound angelic
and nothing less
I try to think of life today
Without music to hear or sing
Its incomplete
Incomprehensible
My life
Would be unbearable, unlivable utterly impossible
Because
music is
my life.
