So, I've decided to write a song every day for the rest of the year.
This is my first, it's called "Today." I actually wrote it January 2nd, so I'll still have to write another within this 24 hour period.
Today.
Today I am feeling particularly strong
Like even if everything went wrong
I could still get along
I could probably move on
I might even make myself a cup of herbal tea
And pretend a pretty English man was interviewing me
About the effect I had on the current music industry
And he asks me about you
And I say 'who?'
Tonight.
Tonight I'm going to break apart my heart
And sacrifice it for the sake of art
At least it's a start
I'm really just being smart.
I might even make myself something with a little caffeine
Pretend some pretty girl was asking me questions for her zine
About the effect I had on the current theatre scene
And she asks me about you
And I say 'who?'
You'll just be a name on a piece of paper
You'll just be a line in a song
You'll just be a silhouette on an album cover
You will be long gone.
Tomorrow.
Tomorrow I'm not going to feel this way
I won't be able to fake that everything's okay
But that can wait.
I can handle it today.
This is how I felt today, like even if something horrible happened, I'd be able to deal with it, even if I couldn't tomorrow.
I showed it to the person it was written about.
The person was not pleased.
They said it was 'hostile.'
I don't think it's hostile.
Love,
Kate
