Music is the One

A poem about the importance of music when it comes to mental health.

By Aliana Le FleurPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

Some times

About 99% of the time

I wonder why I exist

I seem to always find a way

To fuck things up

When they're going well for me

I mess up relationships with people

Who might actually care

Until I have no one

Do I really hate myself that much?

Music is the only thing

That keeps me sane

Not these drugs

The doctors put me on

Not my family

Or what few friends

I still have left

Music is the one

That has my back

That will never let me down

The only one

I can't ruin with a single touch

Or a single word

When I'm awake at 3 am

Wondering what the point is

Fantasizing about a world

Without me in it

Music is the one

That pulls me down from that ledge

Who holds me while I cry

And whispers that I'm not alone
