Inner Music

All I need to do

is lose myself in music

and experience the world through her magic

when I make music the audio of my life's broadcast

life feels different

maybe it's an illusion

maybe it's bullshit

maybe its' not real

maybe it's all nothing but an

epic auditory delusion

I don't really care

because when I make life my own music video

nothing feels impossible 

everything feels doable

I experience all of my wrongs as just broken pieces of glass in a life size mosaic

my mistakes don't weigh me down

or hold me back

or daunt me as unforgivable

my music

insulates me

not from the world at large

but from the screech of the grindings of my own mind

for those few hours 

when I get to choose the soundtrack of my life

the shift I feel

is worth

whatever the delusions
