Lose Yourself in a Melody

Basically an ode to music and how it grants one the ability to temporarily forget the world

Lose Yourself in a Melody

Forget the blame

Forget the pain

Let the melody pulse through your veins

Tune out the world

Let your feelings unfurl

Dance, sing, jump, and twirl

Let the music enter your soul

Don't be afraid to lose control

Give it the chance to make you feel whole

Author's Note

These past few days have been rather rough on me. Last night, I was listening to Rob Thomas on Spotify while laying in bed. Though I've felt this feeling several times while listening to music, I, once again, for the first time in a while, experienced what it's like to allow music to overtake your mind and soul. It's very therapeutic, and for that, I'm very thankful. It helped me feel a lot better almost instantly, enabling me to momentarily forget my problems. An idea for a poem came to mind, so I grabbed a sticky note (yes, a sticky note) and pencil and jotted this down.

Music does this to me! You've stated it so well, the enthusiasm & lack of inhibition shine thru strongly! I love the primal aspects of music, how it's understood, no matter the language. Your rhymes are playful, not forced & not boring. Everything sings.
