MUSIC ALWAYS SPEAKS
It speaks to us differently,
even when lyrics are foreign,
the language is understood.

It speaks to us unambiguously,
even when the tones are aliens,
the mood is understood.

It is understood,
through its melody,
to some of us.

It is understood,
through its lyrics,
to some of us.

It shoves some of us into oblivion,
where we are engulfed by joy,
no matter the self restrain we tap in delight.

It teleports some of us down memory lane,
where we become nostalgic,
and today is forgotten only yesterday in our minds.

It whispers to some of us,
calming us,
no matter the chaos surrounding us.

It assures some of us,
encouraging us,
no matter how intimidating the fear is to us.

It cheers some of us,
inspiring us,
to look deeper for creativity.

It intoxicates some of us,
numbing us,
so we dance in even pain without a flinch.
