Day 66: “Lorde & Savior”
I press play
Close my eyes
Breathe
I’m transported
to 2017
“Melodrama” CD blasting
Feeling new feelings
Maturing
Freeing
Enjoying the summer
For once
When I open my eyes
It’s not 2017
It’s now
Still hot as heck
But
Somehow I can tolerate the heat
When I’m listening to “Virgin”
I feel free
Fed
Awake
Confident
Grown
Alive
Capable
Cool
Lorde might just have saved my summer
Day 53: “Musicality”
What does music do for you?
For me
It sets me free
From my mind
My worries
My rollercoaster
It helps me feel
Joy
Sadness
Grief
It makes me
Laugh
Cry
Smile
It makes me so happy I could cry
So sad I could smile
It confuses me
Makes me think
Connects with me
Connects me
It makes me dance
Sing
Move
It fills me
Expands me
Releases me
I feel
Again
Again
Again
Never ending
Always discovering
Me
Press play
And melt
Jump
Cry
Laugh
Stop
Go
Relax
Energize
Then come back down to earth
Day 23: “WASH”
Music
has a beautiful way of transporting you
not only to a place
but to a younger you
I’m letting it wash over me
And younger me
we’re both happy
Day 15: “Here We Go Again”
Last night I went to one of
Maybe the best
Concert of my life
I had the perfect view
I could see him between two people’s heads
The ultimate window
My partner and I were singing
And dancing along to all of the songs
I’ve wanted to see him in concert for so long
This time it almost didn’t happen
I waited in the presale
And didn’t get a ticket
SOLD OUT
But by a miracle
And capitalism
They added another show
And two tickets went straight to my Apple wallet
Got a Long Island iced tea
But with ginger ale because they were out of diet coke
And it wasn’t half bad
Had the perfect buzz
During the perfect songs
With the perfect person
Kansas Anymore
The album
Changed my life
And reopened my eyes to a nostalgia I haven’t felt in a while
I click my heels
And I’m blissful
Happy
I fell headfirst
For the ambience
For the music
For my man
His arms wrapped around my waist as we sang and kissed
And vibed
I didn’t want it to end
When we got home, we searched for more Role Model shows
Looks like we’re going on the road
Faking It Made
