’tis the season

for spotify wrapped

or apple music replay

if that’s more your speed

that time of year

where everyone looks back at the year

through the music they listened to

did you look at yours?

i looked at mine

you know what i saw?

i saw pain

i saw heartache

i saw the fragments

of a broken mind

of a broken girl

a girl looking for closure

for acceptance

for herself

but that’s not all

i also saw growth

i saw a sad girl

start a long journey

a journey toward recovery

toward self-acceptance

toward love

so take a look

at your most-listened to music from the past year

really look at what you see

for in between the songs

in between the ups and downs

in between the sad songs

and the silly songs

and the happy songs

yes, in the in between

you will find your progress

you will find your growth

you will find yourself
