There are days, like today,

when all I need or want is to be alone

listening to John Mayer sing “Dreaming With a Broken Heart.”

There are days, like today,

when I feel hung by the weight  of betrayal and disappointment

and yet I don’t care.

Because soon, at 5:00 pm today I’ll be standing in front of a room

of strangers, singing

sinking my heart into every sound and word.

And today, that is Everything.

“When you’re dreaming with a broken heart,
the waking up is the hardest part.”
— John Mayer
