    Poem Commentary

    Poetry, smoetry...these were lyrics that were written as I transitioned myself out of the music industry.  When you're a bad-ass drummer in a really good band, you seem to have a lot of friends.  So what happens when you're not in music anymore?  Are the friends still there or were they drawn by the attention?  Hmmm....when I feel like coming down from this incredible high that only being on stage can give you, how much of life is going to change? 

    Coming Down
    When I feel like coming down
    This is not how it's supposed to be
    The music's playing but there's no sound
    Would you be there for me?

    I don't know where I'm going
    Only know where I've been
    In my veins the musics flowing
    Let me sing for you again

    Searching for the silver lining
    Shine the light so I can see
    And if the lights just aren't shining
    Would you be there for me?

    When the band starts to play
    There's no place I'd rather be
    Sometimes words are hard to say
    But in the end I'll still be me

    When I feel like coming down
    When I feel like coming down

    Isn't it funny how, whenever you make a radical transition you always start with nothing you thought was yours? Great poem!

    Wow! The imagery of this poem is absolutely amazing! I really like music flowing through veins, allowing the individual to sing again, to live, to die, in what the heart desires. Great Job!

    To have great poets there must be great audiences too.
