Music is life. Cuz strife.
Addicted to music and avoiding life.
POEM

At night when I get home at last
I park the car and listen fast
Then finally I turn the key
When music fades, silence sings.
It seems to me when sounds are muffled
Transparent seams of life are shuffled
Reality comes back abruptly
Haunting every painful inkling.
Perhaps one day I’ll face my fears
But I don’t want to race my tears
So I’ll play more music in my ears
To drown my sorrow through the years.
