Rhythm and Beat

A drum, taught and solid,
beats its own rhythm,
dancing through the city,
beaming with the victory of
luring everyone into its magic.

I feel it tugging,
pulling and pressing past
my guard.

Should I give in?

Or am I
my own drum,
designed to beat
its own rhythm?

Anyways I think it's amazing. Your poem is short but it has a deep meaning.
