Music in my Life

I dance to the music in my head

Music is so beautiful

Soft and welcoming

An escape from the world outside

So many differnet things

All causing frustration

Disappear without trouble

Music is my escape

Drowning out misery

Dispare and defeat

I am finally alive and free

Criticism is welcome and appreciated.

Music is a huge inspiration to me! Some my favorite poets are in fact song writers. I tend to listen to the lyric before hearing the melody. Joni Mitchell was my inspiration to pick up a pen and attempt being creative with words. A glass of pinot and Van Morrison in the background have inspired what I feel are some of my best works.

As for critique...the concept is wonderful. There is a spelling correction needed in line 5. I hope I'm not over-stepping my bounds in this statement, but I felt you were hitting the flow mid-stream. Perhaps a start of something like....
Dancing in my head
Beautiful music
Soft and welcoming
Then expand on those different "things"/emotions.

These are just my thoughts on your words. Your work is yours and you should always write from your heart and for YOU first. I enjoyed reading very much!

Whenever I am down, I crank up the music and start singing at the top of my lungs; so this poem rings true to me. There are not many things in the world that can help your emotional state like music can.
