My Escape
March 9, 2021
My Escape
I start to play and the keys thud as I press them
a little too hard.
As my hands dance along the black and white keys
I forget about all my homework and chores.
My hands jolt from octave to octave, working together
in harmony to create a melody.
I play the last note
and slowly as if taunting me, the sound fades away,
and I snap back to reality.

This was one of my very first poems, and it is about how I escape reality. Playing the piano has always been my way to escape from all my worries and be free.
