Start up the Rythem to hear my heart beat.
The pulsing of the musical beats is my sync to life.
The voices of the singers are my way of speaking to the world.
Music is in everything i do.
My trusty sidekick, my Ipod, is always with me.
My headphones deliver my life support to me,
through my hears and down into my heart.
My heart sends it to every place in my body.
Trance, Rock, EBM, and Industrial,
keeps my heart from failing.
I escape death one more day with it.
Grim Reaper knows this all too well.
Electronic Drums sound my heart to live,
forcing it to go one and live through another day.
The haunting vocals keep the most sinister thoughts at bay,
and keeping others safe from my mind's reach.
Music is the only thing that leaves me sane,
just sane enough to mingle with the souless beings,
but just insane enough to enjoy the darker and more exicting things of life.
I know without it, i would've have been able to cope.
A soul as old and immortal as mine,
has a hard time with the fast-paced world today.
Music that mimics the older eras of the world,
that is my secret to living the lifestyle i do in a world of hatred.
Author notes
its a known fact by now that i'm a goth... but to dive into that specificially. despite my age and what not, i have a very retro or "classic" gothic appearence when i go all out. (i mean not just some hot topic shit that i have for everyday).
my musical tastes are very well into the 20th and 21st century, but my clothing tastes go back to the 19th....
see i told ya i was alittle abnormal.
to exapand on the music i listen to, its techno... but its not its electronica. that's what most goths listen to these days (well in europe at least). moving on... music has forever been apart of my life and its basically the only way i can deal with the people in my hometown because i'm just so "different" from them. even my best friends are "normal". i can't stand being out in public anyways (social phobia). i'm not medicated for it, i'm trying my damn best not to be medicated for it. i found music (as long as its not rap or country. even anything that remotely sounds like it...) is the only way that i can cope with the fast-paced world. i'm very much old fashioned when it comes to alot of things... but its odd for a girl my age to think so. XD (well in my town at least).

I'm glad that music is a way for you to cope. That is the beauty of music, it connects us with the rest of the world....in some way. We can all listen to the beats and drums. Music is a way to express ourselves when we cannot find the words or ways ourselves. Great job, and stay strong fighting the current.
