Freeing music

The music drifts through my ears.

I feel free and let go of my fears.

The calm takes over as I soak in the lyrics.

The breeze blows against my face. Emotions mixed.

I take another step. I'm getting closer. I'll be brave.

The music helps and gives me the empty feeling that I crave.

I begin to feel lighter as i gaze out at the stars.

I move my foot forward. And look down at the cars.

The music lifts me. It makes me smile.

It takes away the pain... for a little while.

The beat kicks in and I feel myself relax.

I can now let go. Peace at last.

I take the final step, and fall into the air.

The music continues on. The wind whips my hair.

My pain will soon be gone. No more being alone.

The beat echoes in my heart. I'm now going home.

The passing cars are getting closer, as I plummet to the ground.

I'm done. Gone. My music still makes a sound.
