Sometimes I Listen to Music

Sometimes I imagine 

That my life is a movie 

Each scene belongs to a song 

Each song to a scene 

Sometimes I let myself 

Just float in the music 

Like I'm in a sea of notes sharps and flats 

But I'm only the one there 

Just basking in the sounds 

Sometimes I put it on in the background

And let it course through my veins

Pumped by the beat of the drum

Lyrics drift through me like oxygen

Sometimes I let it cover me

Like a weighted blanket

Protecting me from my thoughts

Letting it comfort me

When nothing else can

Sometimes I blast it in my room

Dance around

Hairbrush in hand

I'm on the stage

Singing my favorite song

Not a care in the world

Sometimes I listen to it as I go to sleep

Letting my chest rise and fall

To the chords

My eyelids flutter shut

As it lulls me to sleep

Sometimes I listen to music

No

I always listen to music

Daydreaming and starring in my own movie

Sitting and letting it wash over me

Doing homework as it refuels me

Panicking but it stops me from falling too far

Dancing because it makes me feel like a pop star

Sleeping and feeling my brain quiet to the lull of the sound

I listen to music because even when

My life is a mess

My head a mess

Even when I'm a mess

It's always there

Steady

Constant

On beat
