Mia Arias
I was always there to lend a hand.
An ear,
To listen to the worries and horrors life hurled at you.
I thought my gifts were good enough peacemakers;
you didn't have to throw a punch.
Which led to more,
3 to 4 a day.
Over the weekends I can heal
but the minute we are face to face there’ll be
cracking knuckles,
angry faces,
and you shouting for release.
Freedom,
while punching your bag.
Music Means the World to Me
Nikaura Santana Abrue
Music means the world to me
The waves of music
Dancing through my ears
Like grass dances
When the wind hits it
The way the music pumps so hard in my earphones
It can be heard miles away
Bump, bump, bump
The rhythm
Is my heartbeat
The lyrics
Flow through my veins
And because it’s now part of me
Music will always mean the world to me
