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.

  • Failure

    Failure.

    It's not a familiar word to me

    Because I am never failing unless I know

    I haven't tried hard enough

    Been my best

    But that was failure.

    Not by me,

    By them,

  • Broken

    I let myself cry

    And it felt like my heart was being ripped out of my chest

    Exploding

    Shattering into the sky

    I felt like I was dying

    Each day it gets easier

    But when it catches up to you
