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.

  • House of Cards

    Democracy is fragile as a house of cards with many, many layers

    Many, many pieces

    Many, many things that could go wrong

    The slightest breath, enough to bring the whole thing crumbling

  • Him

    He doesn’t look at me
    Like I look at him
    I know exactly what he does at recess
    Where he eats lunch
    His middle name
    I know what books he likes
    What video games
    I’ve slept in the same room with him

  • Treadmill

    Sometimes I feel like I am running on a treadmill towards a big shiny sign that says “Relaxation.” Surronding the big shiny words are lots of other words.
