The Hypnotic Rhythm

by

Katherine Tildes

If I start out every new day
with the same melody
will I feel the same?
Will it conduce happy emotions?
The same song with
its hypnotic orchestra,
the beautiful, haunting violin
that sings my life on its strings.

If I listen to it every day when I wake up,
will I feel the same?
Will my heart rise and fall with the violin,
will my spirit swell with the eerie chorus?

Today and yesterday are different days.
This is an experiment
Listened to it yesterday,
and today
Don’t feel the same way
Then it lifted my day away,
now it makes me cry.
Sink into a depression of
tears and memories

This isn’t good for my health.
Freud would never approve
What am I doing to myself?
Why do I inflict this torture upon
my already ailing soul?
