like patches in a quilt
to protect myself from the world.
words that aren't my own
fill my mouth and release
the pain that no other key could unlock.
my sight rises above
the boulders left for me
to push up the crest of an unending hill.
if i dance fast enough
I might rise too
and escape this silent prison.
I really liked the ending, the irony that amid the noise of your playlist you dance in your silent prison. Apart from a word or two you might want to trim, the poem flowed nicely. I really liked the music forming a patchwork quilt which blankets you and yet gives you the security you need to consider escape. Nicely done.
