Music Is My Guide

This is a poem I wrote in english class today.... It was an assignment... It had an 
ABBACDCDEE rhyme scheme, and had to include alliteration, metaphor, personification, 
assonance, and simile.

Music is the motivation,
beneath the feet of my frame.
Even songs by which I know no name, 
I incessantly dance to every creation.

The beat gets me through the day
like night vision gets owls through dusk; 
the lyrics sing directly my way,
my mind a free spirit in the wind-strewn dust.

If its irritating to take notice of constantly,
ignore it, as it guides me.
