Rhythm from Within

April 4th 2022


Playing you soothes my soul,

Like a Sunday morning sunrise.

Your music bellows,

Reminding me I am alive.


Emotions taking me back,

Remembering who I once knew.

I was young, I was brave,

Before my world turned blue.


The tide pulls me under,

Throwing me in the undertow.

Seconds feel like hours,

In this panic we call life.


I pull myself out,

Bringing breathe to an ease.

Ground myself to this world,

Do I fight, flight, or freeze?


My bod takes your shape,

Your strap around my back.

Fingers pressing on your strings,

As I think about ending things.


Music replaces thought,

When words become bleak.

These chords tell a story,

As I'm stuck in this purgatory.
