speaking to a crowd
candles lit
a soliloquy I spoke
the contrary theme of
mental strain and burden
mixed with speeches of friendship and belonging
music brings people together
loudly it pulled me apart
you saw through all of it
through the fake confidence
the false leadership
you understood me
through hefty sobs and long talks
snotty noses and red faces
i felt true belonging in a world where
people are secretly crumbling
and heroes show their true colors
silently
we are two people who feel it all

speaking to a crowd
candles lit
a soliloquy I spoke
the contrary theme of
mental strain and burden
mixed with speeches of friendship and belonging
music brings people together
loudly it pulled me apart
you saw through all of it
through the fake confidence
the false leadership
you understood me
through hefty sobs and long talks
snotty noses and red faces
i felt true belonging in a world where
people are secretly crumbling
and heroes show their true colors
silently
we are two people who feel it all
you got me through the overwhelming stresses of marching band
as trivial as it seems you kept me from losing it entirely
i think back to it, a year later
