I do not write happy things.

Today I will.

Today I will breathe

ignore the sick feeling growing

in the back of my throat.

Today I will drink water

feel it burn the raw throat

there are all the things I could do with three minutes alone in my room

I have an essay to write and Hebrew to study

I have things to look up and notifications to check

I'm 14. 
And I just saw Bruce Springsteen
Live for the first time. 

I've loved him and his music since I was 6. 
I've listened to him religiously since I was 7.
