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.

    The chorale

    Serious but

    You also love it

    Cornered

    I put my hands up

    Like you taught me

    Only now

    You're the one attacking

    "Helping" because

    You "just want me to feel better"

    And I braced for impact

  • Distracted and angry

    I'm distracted.

    Why did I let myself become so reliant

    Dependent

    So stupid

    Ugh I'm so mad.

    So mad.

    I let myself become distracted by silly things I could want

    I let myself want them
