MuSiQ

When the world
turns cold,
and everything
goes wrong,
when I feel lost
and feel all alone,
i pick my phone,
scroll my songs,
plug the headphones
and set the volume
to maximum.

I get lost in to that world,
where music heals the hurt,
cleans the wounds of love
soothes and warms the heart.
Music comforts me
gives me a reason to breathe.
When the rumours
try to choke me,
when my friends irritate me,
when am at loss of words,
or when I want to be alone,
peacefully silent,
I know music is my refuge,
my fairly tale home.
