Becoming the Music

I enter the room
and not a moment too soon
it gradually starts
the beat of my heart
in tune with the beat on the floor.
The lights surround me
beginning to blind me
so I close my eyes
and begin to rise
until I feel the ground no more.
To the constant beat
I move my feet
and raising my hands
I begin to understand
the music is becoming me.
Or else I am losing it
becoming the music
giving over my soul
yet becoming more whole
enslaved and yet truly free.
Breathe it in, breathe it out
wipe away all doubt
no fears and no pain
only life to gain
where does it end and I start?
In warmth it wraps me
its voice entraps me
it will never be done
for we've become one
forever inside my heart.
When I first started raving, I didn't know much about the music but right away I loved the people, the vibe, and of course, my e.
At first, I was intimidated and didn't dance cuz I felt I didn't know how. But then one party, I just got up off my ass and started feeling the music, letting it carry me away and just moving however I felt, not caring what people thought of me. From then on, I was hooked, the music has become so much a part of why I love raving, it's a part of me.
After my last experience on e (which I also wrote about here) I realized I don't even need drugs to enjoy the music, since last time the drugs actually took away from the whole party experience for me- I'm planning on going to my next party sober. What do you think, why do you rave??

Wow, this is really excellent! It's got a great flow, and of course the subject matter is something that I totally connect with.. Great job!

Thank you so much for putting into words the feeling I get when i'm on the dance floor or playing tunes myself. This is beautiful.

I've never actually been to a rave, but you pretty accurately summarized why I found myself at way too many Phish shows...
