when i got around

music and words

while i was growing up,

it gave me one fine experience

to do things

that gave me pleasure.

it was a make love on the go –

and man, it was a whole different world

to something even more special.

all that music did

was pull me to the words

to understand what feel

was truly about.

this know the difference

seriously good made of steel

all around attachment,

became the emotional support

long lost in the growing up shuffle.

somehow – for some reason,

this not wanting to back down

out of my life became like savior

that i needed for my own backbone.
