As I lived Music always lingered on every moment. A soundtrack to every scene, A beat for every memory, Hummed and sung so joyfully, Or cried out in agony. The earworms I once bellowed out, Till I'd emptied my lungs ... I now listened to and understood. Not entirely But there was pain. Tragedy. Longing. So much struggle concealed under a poppy melody. How far I've come to sound like the music's changed, When really, It's me.

Living Music
As I lived Music always lingered on every moment. A soundtrack to every scene, A beat for every memory, Hummed and sung so joyfully, Or cried out in agony. The earworms I once bellowed out, Till I'd emptied my lungs ... I now listened to and understood. Not entirely But there was pain. Tragedy. Longing. So much struggle concealed under a poppy melody. How far I've come to sound like the music's changed, When really, It's me.
