Life is a locked room

but you have a key.

That key is called music

and it sets you free

 

Music is a new world,

just waiting to be explored.

With suprise after another,

you'll never be bored.

 

With flowers of eigth notes,

and trees made of quarters

all while whole notes

make up the waves.

 

Then as you journey through this beutiful place,

a place where you dont have to hid your face

you meet new people, and make new friends

and build relationships that never end.

 

Music is an escape,

a way to get out

out of all troubles, out of all pain.

out of the worries which bring you no gain.

 

In this world, I feel right at home

never bored, and never alone.

I visit this place quite often you see,

for it is one place I can truly be me.


The author's comments:

I am in multipile msuical groups in my school such as Jazz band, Marching band, concert band, Male choir, and a mixed choir. I have also taken piano lessons since i was 8 years old.

Music is definiatly a part of who I am, and as my poem says, Music truly is an escape from all the bad things in this world. When I begin playing my instrument, or begin singing, I escape to a whole other world.

That is my inspiration for my poem.
