Give This Fangirl a Chance
I crave the moments where I close my eyes and feel every breath in the room come to a pause. Where I lose myself, a body who's heartbeat has been stolen by a kick drum. Where the lights dim and there's no fear, no pain, no connection beyond the opening chords that electrify every atom. You blend into the space; letting go of the failed tests, the thrown together presentations, the traffic lights stuck on red, the parents who can't get along, those who laugh at you in the hallways, the angry words you reserve for yourself. You fall backwards into the roar of voices, crashing through the sentiments you've scrawled across the front of your note book, screamed out the windows on a Tuesday's twilight, whispered to the mirror in the middle of the night. You emerge on the other side, refreshed while at the same time drenched in sweat and post-concert depression. As much as it hurts, emotional and maybe even a little bit physically from the pit, you smile to yourself.

A secret, just for you.
I'll tell you something, just between us two. I'm old enough now to know better than to want to hold the venom rolling across my tongue hostage. It's going to dribble down my chin when my mind goes, and I'd rather it roll out coherently than in a spurt of nonsense.
