Gravestones lopsided
Forgotten behind the trees
Surrounded by grass
Sun crosses risen from earth
Crowned with some olive green mosh
the mosh pit of rain
carries me to my room
drops me on my pillow
12/27/2018
Bodies smashing
Drums are crashing
Throw my arms out
Thrust my body
Shove each other
Feel the anger
Let loose
Lose your shoes
Cry out your protest
Getting punched
Getting trampled
Feel the pain
Guitar wailing
Body sailing
Screaming people
Dancing madly
On a natural high
Feel the adrenaline
Mish mosh of feelings, I can’t see the top.
Oh, these bad feelings, just when will they stop?
They muddle and cloud up the thoughts in my head
To the point that I’m swearing, something I dread.
They overcome me when I least expect it.
They aggravate me. I did not select this!
I wish they would go and leave me far behind,
Then clear and good feelings would be easy to find.
Do not get me wrong I am not crazy, you see.
Just a little confused, that’s when I hate to be me.
Lights flashing, people clashing
Arms and legs flying everywhere
People laughing, having fun
Dancing without a care
Feeling exhausted, want to rest
Have to find a chair
Can’t see the band because I have to stand
It isn’t fair!
Wait a minute, a gap at the front just opened up
Got to move fast, got to hurry up
If I want to get in there
Now my eyes are hurting from the glare of the lights
But being this close to the band is such a thrilling delight
Seeing them jumping around, hyping up the crowd is such an awesome sight!
Let’s hope they keep the crowd rocking into the night
As they sing their last song
For the final encore
I feel sad
I’d waited so long to see them
But I’m so glad I went along
And in a couple of years, they’ll be back once more!
