Life Music

A symphony
	 of human
	            experience
        beats
	 within me
Each 
      and every
	       note
	 bellows
	        through my veins
Resonating
	memories
           echo scales
	         of chained
		        emotions

My soul 
          aches
	     A cacophony
	  of aural
	          aneurisms
     Restricting
	  my flow
	         with the rhythms
		     of life
I hear 
       lyrics,
	    but of madmen,
		    who unite
		    and divide 

Raucous
	orchestrations
		    of evil
			in A minor

Surrounded
	 I sense
           undulating
	        melodies
		    of goodness
	yet
	   I cannot
		 hum
		      a tune
