So I randomly sat down and decided I would write another poem...

Rhyming lyrics of a song
So cliche yet it still goes on
A lyrical burst upon a page
Is it filled with joy or full of rage?
Sometimes they speak of wars we wage
Or how you feel you're in a cage
Sometimes it speaks of broken hearts
Or the way it feels when love first starts

The notes they bounce upon our brains
A song stuck in your head
To make a permanent stain
You can't get it out and it won't go away
All during homework your thoughts run astray
It feels so right, don't you need a break?
Set down your pencil as music overtakes
Bob your head to the beat during the work you fake

Why do we make it? How does it come?
And how easily by it we're overrun
Perhaps lyrics for me can fit for everyone
Because we never know, do we not,
The kind of power a song has got?
Write up a tune, let the lyrics all flow
Grab a guitar and let it all go
How far could it take ya? You never do know...

Hmm nope. Ha actually I hadn't even written it to be a song...just a poem. Though perhaps if I get bored one of these days I will upgrade it to song status :-)
