Music: My Escape

 I have one escape

And it's something no one can take

I look at the pale ivory keys

I gently run my fingers across them

It's comfort

Momentary calm

I have a release

I finger the sticks

I hold them firmly

The pounding of the bass

That's my release

The anger that plagues me is gone

I have a cure

For a common affliction

I am restless

I hold the light mallets

My arms move smoothly

Forming their fast pattern

The notes float through the air

I close my eyes

Smile

I have a hiding place

The guitar blasts through my speakers

The drums shake in my chest

Their voices flow through my mind

When sadness calls

This is where I go
