We'll Make The Great Escape.

"There comes a time when you are truly blissful.
Walking in the cold,
music blaring,
you think to yourself
'This is the first time in a long time I have nothing negative running through my mind.'
You turn the music up a little louder, trying not to lose this
empty, happy mindless state. You have missed this ridiculous state of happiness .
You get lost in the words,
the sentences,
the way it connects with your life. Nothing stops you from being happy and unfocused.
You have no thoughts, you connect with the singer. He is your mind, yelling
about matresses in your basement,
a great escape,
or being saved.
Then you turn it down. You do it cautiously.
You are afraid the thoughts will creep back, you are afraid to ruin this intimate moment with yourself,
but you have to see.
Quieter,quieter it goes.

Then silence.

You open your mind again.
Let the music slip away.
Then you have it. You know it.
They are gone.
The thoughts, worries, insecurities.
You are happy.
There is nothing wrong, and everything seems right.
That is true bliss.
Then, you turn the volume up.
And up,
up,
up.

You smile and continue your walk in the cold."
