For some, music is not just a pastime,
It's an undeniable fact of living,
A blissful slavery of mind, body, & soul.
To rise above the ashes of mediocrity is rare,
Yet the gift of song is freely handed out to anyone who cares to receive it,
Instantly shattering our daily drudgery.
The path to pursue more than the usual,
More than what is safe & known,
Is wrought with time-sharpened jaagged blades that cut deep,
Blocking many from the road to something greater,
Beyond the stunted imagination of their peers.
Within the veins of the few,
Passion fills every sinew with a sweet, unquenchable purpose,
Calming the fear of those treacherous paths.
Though each slice burns & bleeds,
Still they take each cut
And wear the scars with pride to signal their choice,
That undenying pursuit of greater joy within every chord.
And so they say--Watch Me Bleed.
