something i wrote a long time ago

Post Reply New Topic

well i have been thinking about this particular poem due to serious depression issues as of late. i started writing poetry when i was 9 years old and continued til about age 23 when i was burned out and "retired", and continued with the good ol' blogging for a few years before that got less hip than a standard flip phone with no camera. so im in the mood to share this, and of course, it can be viewed as kinda silly but a part of me holds this poem very dear. i wrote this in january of 2004 about a year and a half before i called it quits. lol. and perhaps i might write up some other more interesting poems of mine, but of course i dont want to start arguments as some might find it controversial. i used to publish my poetry on a teen site back in the day, and while i got great compliments, i also received the hate mail. oh those were the days.

Music is my best friend
It is always there for me
It will never leave me
It helps me realize that I'm not alone
It provides comfort when I'm on my own
It talks and listens to me
It can be my voice
It is my survival
It constantly changes but it never gives up
It says everything of which I'm afraid of
It is an experience of fun
It doesn't submit to anyone
It pulls me up and pushes me down
It makes me understand the beauty of sound
and all that I have found
It can be soft and loud
It tells me that there is more out-there
It is what we all need to share
It makes all the BS disappear
It lets you scream and cry without fear
It lets you dream and dare to no limit
It is always open and never pretends
It is a story that never ends
It is a way to learn about the world we live in
It is made up of what we give
Music is my best friend

The format you chose is interesting...kinda has a neat rhythm like a drum beat...the poem about music feels very musical.
the rhythm is enchanting.

i appreciate the comments, i typically wrote my stanzas 8 or 10 lyrics long with chorus
