This country is empty 
It is long gone 
For the days of adventure 
And truth 
Lie written in our history books 
Soon to be burned and forgotten

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. 

018751 this was the lunch code I was given 
My first day of third grade 
My teacher wrote on my hand 
With a green marker that smelled like berries 

018751 this was the passcode for my first email 

I'm chasing that feeling 
I lost so long ago 
The feeling when the sun would set 
And a smile would appear on my face

Today felt the same as yesterday.   
Nothing changed 
But there was a silence 
That echoed in the voices 
I heard. 

Today felt as if nothing changed.  
I got up, brushed my teeth,
