The hip, the fads, the crushes, like grains of sand through my limp fingers. There’s a clock on the wall, the hands drive like mad, blurring time before my eyes. I lie there on my bed, starring up at the fake stars and blues lights. Suddenly I feel aged and tired. I talk of nonsense in a high acid voice. She (my mind) laughs, calls me crazy. I smile, that’s what they all think. Time flys by too quickly for me, even the moments I wish would end seem to rush by beyond my expectations. I feel so silly, so weightless, and yet so pathetic, waddling in my precarious boat of life, heedless and reckless.
I’ve grown dependent on music. The last time I proudly proclaimed my immunity to music while doing homework, now I’m addict to it. I do homework with headphones on. I walk with headphones on. I sleep listening to ghostly whisperings of voices, lingering in my dreams. Everyone loves music, but still I hold a desparate desire that I and only I tasted the flavors of music with an unsatiable tongue. It’s that eight-year-old little girl sitting in front of her stereo listening to Mozart. Lights down, eyes closed, ready to dance. I was an adorable child, really, I was.
I’m twenty-six now. Where did the eighteen years go?

I’d like to ask that too… where have they gone?
boy i wish i knew where they went…they just disappear without a trace.
Be careful, too much of a good thing…
music, a decent addiction! twenty six? a wonderous child!
I have nothing against remembering the past, but don’t linger in it. The present is as important to be lived, and the future still awaits
take care
what type of music do you listen too? I have been falling asleep to classical music for the last 7 or so years. Sometimes I switch it up with contemporary christian music to edify (sp?) my soul.
I just ordered the New Order Box Set Retro. Cool Beats!
:)
How could you even think of denying the sound. I LOVE New Order BTW.
Thank you for the comment. Much appreciated.
