Press Play Poem by Temperance Joy

I'm the music in your earbuds
In the headphones, sending subliminal messages through your ears
I'm always there
I'm the spirit that makes you move to the beat whatever it may be
I'm always there
Waiting, hoping anticipating the moment you press play
Sending me; your invisible companion; dancing
Prancing through your brain in waves of emotion.
I am the reason you survive those days you would rather not talk.
I give you the words you have been searching for
The words that were under lock and key in your heart
The very words you had been wishing and hoping to find.
I am the speakers in your car that allow you to drive aimlessly through the city.
I'm always there.
I make it easier to walk with confidence wherever and whenever you need to.
Just press play.
I'm always there.
Remember the time you could feel your heart breaking in your ribcage?
Remember how the music got you through?
It was me, the angry rants, screaming, waiting to be released.
I am everywhere.
So release me to work my magic.
Whenever, wherever and however you need.
I'll be there.
I won't let you down.
I'm always there.
All you need to do is...
...Press Play.
