Get home from school
and run into my room
Just to turn up my music
and dance the stress away
All the drama fades
into the torrent of music
Thats sweeping me far away
lost in the beat as I move
Hips swaying side to side
and arms tossed in the air
Hair swinging as the body bobs
not feeling a single care
I'm just the type of girl
that turns up the music way loud
Just to tune out reality
sometimes real life isn't worth it
Then all you need is a good song
with a steady beat staying strong
Something to lose yourself in
to keep you feeling sane
Author notes
I'm the type of girl...that turns up the music way loud, just to tune out reality.

ahh, the power of music, I am often found driving around with it blaring louder then any outside sounds, singing along at the top of my lungs, rocking the highways, rolling in style,
shocking the red light nose pickers and waking the dead in graveyards passed, perhaps they too do a little limbo in their coffins. I was a front man, lead vocalist for many groups way back when rock and roll was meant to be my ticket, Now I perform between the front rows of a buick steering wheel for a microphone and gas pedal to amp it up. LOL-Loved your image of dancing in your room.~Artis -

i was going through my works looking for spelling mistakes (so annoying) and just had to re-read your comment. have you ever thought of turning the opening into a poem? its practically half way there.

Very you. The line in the Author's notes sounds like me. Only not dancing. I can't dance. Or rather, maybe I can. I just don't. Sehr gut.

The whole reason I use to go out on the weekends was just for this reason!!! I love to dance and the feelings that come from just letting yourself go are pure magic!!! Excellent writing here and best of luck

I love it
This is an amazing poem and you have amazing imagery use! -
This is very well done! It totally remindes me of my daughter almost every waking moment. Dancing or siging just to get away from the rest of us!! LOL. Great work on the piece and good luck in the contest.
Oh just so you can fix it if you want 3rd stanza second line I think you meant air instead of arm. If not my bad! But I do it all the time myself, so just in case.
