Hi Jake,
This is a good poem about the effect of the news on most of us. Music can have a calming effect on all bad or dangerous emotions.
Keep writing and stay healthy.
Have a good day.
Joan

I like this verse form. Your words fit it perfectly and I drifted into that private space you needed to escape the horrors of the news. I particularly liked the third stanza. Well done! Debbie

There is a lot of bad news about and I protect myself from it by just having a filtered news feed on my phone. I am glad you are calmed by your favourite music as we cannot change the world. A poignant post, love Dolly x

I'm not familiar with this style of verse, but it seems especially effective in conveying a series of emotions. You've done this very well! I can imagine each step of the process you go through.

Thanks for sharing!
