Ode to Kid Cudi.
Kid Cudi
The man on the moon
Who makes me reach for the stars
His rhythmic flow sending wavelengths
To the nerves far beyond my ears
Stretching at my heartstrings
The lyricality all too familiar and personal
The catchy tunes applicable to my life
His poetic voice inducing hope and inspiration
He and I both “on the pursuit of happiness”
I'll be fine once I get it he says
He sings, and I listen
Those far and wide,
struggling and feeling alone
Somewhere, somehow,
Becomes connected
Each puzzle piece flying
where they fit just snug
All because of his influence
The music cascades
the reality of the dreary world
And instead cannonballs me
into an imaginative state of mind
One that makes me feel alive and reborn
His music, heaven on earth, greets me with
Peace and good vibrations that are all-consuming
The music volume raising with my heartbeat
Like I was struggling to breathe and just got air
Thank you,
Scott Mescudi
