I Rise Through You

A thank you of appreciation for the music that helped me through a few very rough times.

By S. D. ClydePublished 5 years ago 1 min read
(From L to R) Jamie Madrox, Tech N9ne, Monoxide Child, and Krizz Kaliko - four of MANY artists whose music helped me through my darkness)

I want to thank you for the times

You lifted me up

How your music brought laughter

When my smile wouldn’t budge

No matter my mental

Be it pissed off or sad

Indifferent or frightened

Or even a bit ‘mad’

Your lyrics brought visions

I would need at the time

To fight my way out of ‘darkness’

When life wasn’t real kind

Through your bars and your beats

Peace would fill this dead soul

With a desire to live

And find memories to hold

Now I try to remember

When life gets me down

How your music brings laughter

Though I’m wearing a frown
