Alive

Music makes me feel

alive.

It doesn't always make me 

happy

but

it always fills me with energy.

Frustration.

When I can't get it right.

Passion.

When it's beautiful in a way I can't explain, which so often music is.

Joy.

When I play something fast and furious and full of fun.

Sadness. 

When it's sad, but oh so sweet. 

Even boredom. 

When I'm playing scales, and my feet fidget, and I wait to be done, and I'm not really paying attention.

But when I give it my focus,

It makes me feel,

Completely,

Fully,

Alive.

  • Transition

    My younger cousin put it best, I think.

    "Spring is my favorite season, because it has a little bit of everything!"

    Rain, sun, clouds.

    Cold, cool, warm.

    Melting snow.

    Yellow daffodils.

    Baby birds.

  • A new daffodil

    I've been buried for so long. 

    By dead leaves, snow, and the weight of winter's thick, cold air. 

    All of it holding me down. 

    For months I stayed stagnant. 

    Unable to move. 

  • Weird

    My name is Leah, I’m 12, and I’m weird. My mom says it’s not me, it’s just everyone else and they’re still growing up, but if I’m the odd one out, I’m pretty sure it’s just me.
