Rhythm of steps

Headphones as my cover
the street I measure
escaping into pounding
absorbed in the feeling

the music roars
giving me the force
with the world in opposition
to keep drudging on

I can't hear a thing
but the words I'm savouring
on the power of the beat
I move down the street

it will protect
the bubble I erect
the base carries me along
the growl cuts into my core

inside me I scream
let rage and hatred stream
my enemies I shred to bits
alone my ghosts I banish

what's blocked inside I break
my objections I will state
for no one else I care
I am the nightmare

the music breaks away
returns the world's day
off with the headphones
as my anger goes

I'm once again nice
helpful and ever so kind
with patience to give in
to everyone keep smiling
