This poem was written for my dear friend, Luis. He loved it~
---------
Turning up the music
the world stops
the fights, the people, the lies
don't exist in these lyrics
Believing the more you listen
the more the problems go away
Feeling the beat
like it's now part of you
Closing you're eyes
seeing life before it changed
before it turned around
and life became a chore,
a punishment
These words don't judge
No, they're far different from the people
They, listen
they've become you
The know you inside and out
even when you don't
Blocking out the world
the song continues
numbing the pain
You start to realize
time doesn't stop
Not for you, not for anyone
No matter how hard
or how bad
your problems may be
You start to realize
sometimes you can't rely on others
that you have to look fear
straight in the eye
and fight back
You'll always feel the pain
you've come too familiar with
Wanting to start a new beginning
You take out the headphones
you come out of hiding
and fight back
Knowing that you can fail
but always getting back up
Never letting the world push you back down
No, you're not going to be that girl again
Wishing people would see what lies beneath your tears
You pick up the headphones
wanting the feeling you've longed for
You rely on the words
Back at square one
But with a new approach
Never hiding
Just searching for a new you
That comes out in the music
