Let the beat take away the pain,

Music never leaves me whether there is sun or rain,

It is with me when I am happy and when I am sad,

It is with me on good days and the bad,

The beat lifts me up on each happy day,

And the lyrics get me through days when my silent lips have too much to say,

It express the pain that I can not,

It gets me through a tough situation when I am caught,

I believe that music is truly a gift from God,

I listen to the rhythm as my head nods,

When I am silent my mind is loud,

Music can calm my thoughts down,

If you wish to know what my mind thinks,

Just listen to my playlist and I’ll watch you as you blink,

Wether tears drip down your face,

Or you begin laughing at my taste,

You’ll learn more from me from a song,

For I am afraid that if I speak I’ll do something wrong,

So I listen to words of another,

As they calm the thoughts that make me shudder,

They can express my pain and joy and fear,

Why I laugh and why my eyes tear,

And if you are always plugged into your headphones just like me,

Then you too understand how music can make one feel free,
