Waves Of Sound
I listen to the voices that blast out of my headphones and drown my sorrows. I prepare my mind for the day known as tomorrow. Can’t fully process, ‘cause I’m still floating above the waves of the sound. I want to drown right now.
Take me .. deeper.
Deeper than I already am. I don’t wanna swim. I wanna get lost, let the beat twist and toss my body. Let the words make me drift in and out of consciousness.
Endless floating.
Surrounded by sound, make the floating end now. I’m ready to sink.
Going deeper, like I want to. Starting to get in sync with the lyrics, I’m truly feeling it. It’s moving my whole spirit. It’s crazy how I can relate. I never thought anyone could feel this way. So deep..
The vibe is real as the words the artist speaks.
Sinking.
Starting to feel free.
Unaware of anything that can happen to me.
Careless.
I’m fearless, ‘cause I’m no longer aware of my innermost feelings.
That’s just what music does. The waves of sound disposes of our actual selves, and takes us to the pits of who we truly are.

It's a funny coincidence, when I began reading I thought that maybe you were a fan of music and towards the end of this poem you write about music and lyrics. It made me think that I could have been right about that! Have you ever done spoken word? The format of your poem would work really well as a spoken word piece. I could also hear this poem being recited with a mix tape or beats in the background! :) You should try it at some point!
