The Music

I listen to song after song

There’s a beat

But that’s not what I’m hearing

Something else entirely is catching my ear

The words run through me

They fill me with emotion

Each song makes me think

And I remember

I’m remembering lots of things

It’s all coming back to me

I feel the music

It makes me remember

It brings out my feelings

And I’m trying to express them

I have to get them out

I can’t bottle them up anymore

It’s all in the music

The emotion

The feelings

The memories

They’re all there

And it’s freeing

I’m running down the road

And I finally understand things

I hear a song

And it clicks

There’s something in my mind

And I get it

Things in life aren’t easy

They’re not supposed to be

Life is hard

And crazy

But it keeps going

Life goes on

No matter what changes

No matter how hard it gets

We all go on

Just like the music

We move like a rhythm

And we go on with our lives
