Real Magic

I sat down

In my seat in the theater.

We waited for the show to start

With anticipation. I loved the book

And now it's on Broadway

And I couldn't wait.

The show started up, and I'm not a theater kid

I know nothing about acting at all,

But I

it. It was similar to the book. Only a few characters were off, 

In my opinion.

The boys

The beautiful

Boys

The main characters

Were

Perfect.

They were awkward and sweet

And their friendship

Came ALIVE onstage

Like I'd never seen before.

There was hugging in the script, I knew that

But it was so much more passionate.

The actors WERE the characters.

And those two boys

Bonded by rewinding time

By love

Were there for each other.

I felt the bond

Between them

As strong as anything.

The show put the words on a page into reality

Into life

Into the characters

And I was breathless.

It was

Undoubtedly

One of the greatest things I'd ever seen.

It made me believe

Magic is real.

    There are so many things in this world.

    So many things I could write about.

    Love, frilly, pink, soft

    Cloudy, foggy, angelic,

    With jagged edges, the heartbreak that threatens your world,

  • Please

    Please, can't you say it?

    I'm tired of guessing.

    Why skip around the truth

    Rather than outright admitting it?

    We dance like fireflies

    Flying around

    Not hitting the mark

    But making a dent

  • Conflicting

    Conflicting feelings, in my brain

    In my heart

    As I lay awake

    Not entirely sane.

    Conflicting thoughts, all knotted up

    How do I untangle

    Fix what I've lost?

    How do I make sense of it?
