Riding home
On the bus
People talking
Laughing
I want to be alone
Earbuds in
Left
Then right
Play
A melody floods my senses
Drowning
In beauty
Close my eyes
I feel peaceful
I feel happy
I feel safe
My body is numb
I am free in the music
Flowing across the strummed notes
This music is my whole world.
Nothing can hurt me if I don’t see it
Nothing can hurt me now
Nothing can hurt me
Nothing will hurt
Nothing
This,
Is pure happiness
On the bus
People talking
Laughing
I want to be alone
Earbuds in
Left
Then right
Play
A melody floods my senses
Drowning
In beauty
Close my eyes
I feel peaceful
I feel happy
I feel safe
My body is numb
I am free in the music
Flowing across the strummed notes
This music is my whole world.
Nothing can hurt me if I don’t see it
Nothing can hurt me now
Nothing can hurt me
Nothing will hurt
Nothing
This,
Is pure happiness
From when I was sitting on the bus listening to “Bloom” by The Paper Kites. Beautiful song. I hope my poem captures the feeling of this song that I am trying to convey.
