Starts out slow, something soft, something sweet
Carries on to a more firmly pounding beat
Raise the volume, can’t get enough
Almost feel the bass in your blood
Mid-day, cycle back through
Then switch to track two
Slinking sounds, quiet noise
No longer having to make choice
Shhh
Feet the beat
Slowly spreading to your feet
Each song carefully placed
Designed to make your heart race.
Simple music, chaotic release.
Mid-city playlist.

I was making a bunch of new playlists for each of my friends, and I realized that the music that I listen to has the power to control my mood.
