Music is my refuge, It digresses me from reality I can crawl into the place between the notes and curl my back to loneliness It’s tune overcomes deception Stirring up emotions overridden by relation My psyche drown in its lyrics that take control Toggling with my memories, triggering what’s hidden in heart Illuminating the inner my that I try so hard to hide Highlighting my pain and insecurities that I suppress The rhythm sets a stream for which my mind to escape As the beat draws in my soul it protects from negativity Shows me the dangers of society Teaches me the flaws of this systematically carved world And with this system the morality of music itself changes It’s very existence seizes to coincide with its purpose As so time goes on In the 80’s jazz was the plug, Then came to the 90’s hip hop and thugs, Then R & B to soothe the soul, Now It's *** and X and rock and roll
