Bliss-Splits-Hits

There is bliss when the music hits

like a light that has been lit 

My mind flips and suddenly it

is like there is just this 

moment in its entirety 

where the anxiety hides 

And I’ll point out the irony 

later, but for now

There is bliss when the music hits

The irony is this

How does an incompetent fool

so miniscule in stature

And in thought 

hit the jackpot when

it comes to her friends? 

Nevertheless she has tried to end

every possibility she has to send

to the graveyard her brave heart 

dies again and again

There is bliss when the music hits 

Except when my mind splits 

And then suddenly this 

moment in its entirety 

hides its own bit of irony 

As I contemplate 

the moment when they have to

resuscitate my heartbeat 

before the downbeat hits
