The end




Exhausted does not even begin
To describe the feeling
At the culmination

My three days of spontaneity
Coming to an end
Mentally, physically drained

Am I glad I did this?
Are we crazy for doing this?
Yes and yes.

We cannot even stand at this point
Our legs can no longer hold us up
The ground feels so good

It’s over
The whole experience coming to a close
Relief and discontent.

One of the dumber things
That we have done
Is driving through the night

After three days of not stop
Our bodies exhausted
We decide to drive eight hours

This terrified me more than
Anything that
I saw this weekend

Honestly I thought
That we could die
We walked a thin line

The journey home


I tried to sleep
So I could shut my brain from the fear
It did not work


This crazy weekend has come to its culmination. Do I regret anything? No. It was by far, the most interesting experience of my life. I am grateful to have such good friends in my life to push me out of my comfort zone, and experience the new. I am one who just stays in what is comfortable. My friends have pushed me to be involved in so much more than the box I’m used to staying in. “Music has always sent out lines of flight” (Dekeyze and Guattari’s, “A Thousand Plateaus ‘Introduction:Rhizome’). Music was the center of the weekend. It was so interesting to see that people from all over the world could be brought together by a common cause: music.
