Playlist

A ton of songs -

Over fifty -

I love them all,

But fade so quickly.

My interest dies

By the tenth repetition,

And so I move on

To a cooler mission.

This beat, this soundtrack

On a loop.

This singer, songwriter

Musical group.

My obsessions may be short

But they're intense and they burn;

My playlist of celeb crushes,

Everyone takes a turn.

First AJR,

And then Maroon 5.

So many others

After my love for them dies.

I listen on repeat

Completely mesmerized

By this sound and this rhythm,

But no new surprises.

Next I move on

And start to explore -

How much do I love this artist,

Do I want to hear more?

It's definitely a roller coaster

My constantly-shifting taste in music

But they're my absolute favorite

That is, until I lose it.

  • Storm

    I love this feeling.

    The wind on my face,

    The fire under my skin

    Doused by the rain.

    The ominous clouds overhead.

    My natural state it what the storm is,

    Right now.

    It's just how I've always been.

  • I don't

    I don't

    Open at your words

    Your touch

    I don't

    Listen to

    Anyone anymore.

    I am completely in my head.

    I know we don't have time for this mess.

    I do it anyway.

    I don't

    Pay attention.

  • "I don't care"

    "I don't care," I say.

    Don't care.

    Don't.

    Do not.

    Don't want to.

    Can't.

    Scared to.

    You look at me.

    Ask, "What about your friends?"

    Yes, what about them, self?
