She felt strange
In her rose-coloured
Dress while she
Was surrounded by
Heavy men wearing
All black
The base drum
Plays a staccato
Of hard sounding
Noisy music
Some would even
Argue that those
Screams aren’t
Music at all.
The guitar is
Drowning everyone
In its own dark
Cacophony
People outside
And inside
Are smoking their
Way through
Uncomfortable emotions
In the end
She was one of them
