Poem
I went to her first gig at 16
Brixton academy, the new "emo" scene 
I didn't know what to expect 
But everything about the night was perfect 

When she came on stage I was at the front 
The awe I felt has remained untouched 
I sang my heart out, jumped and "moshed"
The memories forever in my head and heart

I was a changed person after that night
I had found my community, being her fan felt right
I became "obsessed" as teenagers do
Vest tops and ties, straight hair and black eyes

I saw her again many times over the years
Met her 3 times, my name she remembered to my surprise!
Her music has been the soundtrack to my life
Everything I went through, her music my guide

I saw her again a few months ago 
For 16 year old me the night was owed
I sang my heart out, but the jumping slowed
When I looked in the crowd I saw we all had got old

But it didn't matter, our lives aren't defined
By the age of our body, it's what in the mind 
Middle age is almost here, she's now old too
But "what the hell" has never been more true

The people I met, the things that I did
All started that night, a life fulfilled 
No matter my age, I'm still a "rock chick" at heart 
Her music made me right from the start

Whenever I feel down or blue 
Her music I play and sing out of tune
Moshing is done, I now need a seat 
But life without passion is incomplete 

When I play her music my mind is at ease
The inner child in me feels free
Life is for living, old age comes to us all
Just don't jump then trip and fall!

The girl in the mosh pit had it right
Laugh and sing as if it's our last night
To 16 year old me I say thank you
You chose the music that got us through 

To the singer I say I would have died 
But the music you made saved my life 
I know it's cliche, but it's true 
Her music is why I made it through 

Things will change, things will slow 
I guess that's part of getting old
Her music makes me feel young, it's part of my story
I'll still be rocking out when I'm 40!!!!!
