Music,
My one true escape.
Freedom in every note,
It is a liberating feeling,
One I cannot live without.

All it takes is the droning sound of a guitar
And I have drifted,
Soaring along a path of colourful rifts,
The drum beat dancing vibrantly in front of my mind’s eye.

Oh how I long to be there every waking moment,
Gliding through my head, devoid of care.
I think of nothing other than that enticing tune,
Still raw and animated in my head from previous adventures.

I can almost hear the voice,
Like it is singing to me.
It describes a journey as I drift away from reality.

I cannot imagine my world free from;
The Singer’s call,
The Guitar’s screech,
The Pounding Drum,
The Deep undertone of Bass.

They would surely lock me up,
For I would be want of a sound mind without it.
The music keeps me grounded by setting me free.

As the melody fades into the background,
I fret for just a second,
Where did your lovely siren go?
You were there so clearly,
Now just a vivid memory,
A thing to remember in deafening silence,
Never to forget your pull over me.

Fighting to control myself,
My senses explode with overpowering delight.
Because;
The next song is starting...

Hey there, Azzman! I have to say I really enjoyed this. Your topic is one that I think many people can relate to, myself included. Though I may not see music as my one true escape, I'm nonetheless very passionate about it. I think my favorite line was this:

The music keeps me grounded by setting me free.


Yeah, it definitely was. :D I love semi-contradictions like this.

To be honest, I'm at a loss for what to say. I really couldn't find anything wrong with this... Great, great job! Keep writing stuff like this. I'll keep an eye out for anything else you might do.

Surround yourself with people who are serious about being writers, and who will tell you, ‘Hey—you can do better than this.’ Who will be critical of your work, but also supportive. And who will not be competitive in a negative way.
