Those two days

Two days

Was all it took.

A day of rehearsals;

Discussing, analyzing, perfecting -

And then the day

We performed.

The day that changed everything.

 

I gave myself to the notes on the page,

Those two days;

I poured every essence of myself,

My heart and my soul,

Into it without realizing.

I fell in love with the song

And it ripped my heart from my chest.

 

I have never felt heartbreak

Such as what I felt when I had to walk out of that room.

I have never felt

Anything that strong.

 

The passion those two days created in me

Burns.

It burns unstoppable

Bright

And bold.

 

What started as a hobby

Became my redemption.

Dipping and diving,

Weaving and flying,

Soaring and cascading as an ocean of sound.

 

I have never felt so free.

 

There are technicalities, yes

Nuances

But the power I felt

Lies in the feeling.

In the

Emotion.

And not only did I get to share it

With someone I love

But with other people who work

Just as hard as I do.

 

During those two days,

I found myself within the song.

Those two days

Meant everything.

Those two days

Became who I am, 

And made me want to love

Fight for

Live in

The world they represent.

 

The world the music touched.

 

I write this

For those two days

And for what I hope will become

Forever many more.

    Said the big chalkboard on the wall

    In that gym lined with red mats

    And chairs and chairs and chairs

    I'll never forget

  • Busywork

    I feel useless

    Unproductive

    No one needs me right now

    Good

    I have nothing to do

    B o r e d o m.

    I can't stop thinking about you

    I assign myself tasks

    Keeping me occupied

  • It all comes back

    When I got home

    After those two days

    Passed by much too fast

    And then they were gone

    And I was changed forever

    When I got home

    I remember

    I cried and cried and cried

    From longing
