Songs that Accompany Memories
Writing on the seats of the school bus
  Childish rebellion
  Surrounded by that musty, rubbery smell,
  Laughter,
  And happy melodies from the staticky radio.
  Piles of stuff demanding to be sorted
  Annoying
  School clothes, photos, dusty participation trophies
  The YouTube playlist,
  Uplifting and bright, making cleaning better.
  Sneakers squeaking on the gym floor
  Self-consciousness overshadowed by excitement
  A crowd of friends, balloons, and streamers,
  Shrieking voices
  Celebrating the drop of the DJ’s beat
  Looking out the car window
  The big world zooming past outside
  Wondering about next year and the year after
  Confusion
  Soothed by comforting, optimistic lyrics.
  A day when we’re no longer confused
  Maybe successful and unafraid
  Busy lives brightened with thoughts of back then
  Memories
  Accompanied by those unforgettable songs.
