Negative One to Ten

So these girls live on my street,
Or I guess I live on theirs.
They thought I was showing them,
But really they made me aware just how momentous music is,
And why we should care.
Songs stay with you your whole life,
Remind you of time spent and gone.
Carry you throught dismal days,
And help you to carry on.

I owe so many positive times to my favorite songs.
It can be more than just sounds and words
It can be something that saves your from yourself,
Your thoughts, your life, your world.
It can be more than a favorite line
It can be something that shapes you when you're young,
But give you freedom at the same time.
