My iPod
Snap! I slide the power button on.
Flash! The iPod turns on in a brilliant flash of light.
Click click click! I move my finger around the perfect white circle scrolling through my songs,
attempting to find the perfect tune for my mood.
I find it and punch the play button
I close my eyes and let the music flow through my whole body.
It circulates through me like blood, the beat like the pulsing of my heart.
And suddenly I feel lighter, happy, stress-free, if only for a moment.
I stay in this dream-like state, thinking, wishing life was always like this.
Then, suddenly, the song ends
And I am jolted back to the real world, full of stress and anxiety.
But through all of it, I still have the peaceful memory of the music that made me so relaxed.
