Steps To Greatness

P: The Fortress

We put all these walls

We turn away from your comments

Don’t doubt me because I won’t fall

When I do

Music picks me back up

Music is my fortress

Every beat

Every word

Music isn’t for the hopeless

Music is what buys my time

When I have to ‘pay attention’ to you

I look you in the eyes

With earbuds in my ear

I stare with a straight smile

Of course I hear every word you say

Yes. Go on

I care.

But what I care about more

Is letting my voice out

Through music

Let me sing a verse or two

A stanza

Maybe a chorus

I’ll let you know I’m not

Because you’ll probably be bored of me

But that how I feel about you

Don’t worry

I’ll let it be

Music is my safe haven

Others call it could 9

Tell me what I’ve been saving

Myself from all this time

I’ll tell you that you’re wrong

Because this fortress is strong

Stronger than you

Go ahead

Try to break it down

These walls put up

Because I can see right through

That mask you wear

I don’t put one on myself

But I believe it’s going out of style

I will tell you this

Music is my safe haven

Every beat is a beat to my heart

The lyrics

Words of my silence

Music

My fortress

My weapon

Music is me
