DRUMS
Symphonies and melodies
Frequencies and beats
Close my eyes, let the sounds tell a story
Mesh of sound waves creating a beautiful disaster
People gather around to lay in the pasture
It softens suicidal thoughts
You feel connected like knots
Close my eyes, let the wind hit my face
I have a long way to go
My chants made it a second
Close my eyes, let myself reset
Two earbuds in
The adventure has yet to begin
Freedom means being able to do things at your own will without fear of judgment or criticism. My own experience is when I listen to music: I feel like I am in my own world, relaxed and calm. When I have arguments with my family, the music makes me forget about it. So I take my earphones wherever I go, because I always want that feeling. This is important to me because although there could be bigger things going on in the world, I like to take a step back from it and enjoy myself and the tunes I consume. When you read my poem, I hope you will literally see what I’m talking about as if you were there—you will feel it and notice it.
