I lie in bed at night and listen to it.  
The words can mean so much.   
The rhythm's maker must know me,
because I hear what I feel in my heart.

My un-articulated hopes and joys,
fears and triggers,
named and explained
and all I have to do is feel the music.  

I used to close my eyes
and take a journey inside the sound,
traveling places my mind created –
my own sonic refuge.

Following the emotions in each tune,
my breast has swelled as that of a hero.  
I have cried like a fool.  
Have you?
I wrote this at night on September 15, 2012. I was just sitting alone that night, thinking.

Definitely can relate. I often listen to music in cases I can’t fall asleep. I don't understand much of free verse so I guess its normal that the flow tends to be choppy at places. In any case, good job.
