'How is it that... a solid wall is made to protect you from harm, but jumping off of it will cause the very thing it's meant to defend you from?'
A question that had haunted my mind since I was intelligent enough for questions such as that to haunt my mind, which was naught but a couple of decades. At twenty-six, my life seemed to be nothing but one haunting question.
Where was I going?
I dropped out of college to fulfill some ridiculous dream that I knew would never come true: music, a band, legend....
Music. My love and my torment.
To think, I could be making solid money at a law firm right now. Instead, I'm working at a small cafe in a small town for small money. Not at all what I had in mind when I dropped out of college.
But then again...
I could never forget the euphoria of that first time we performed in front of a crowd. Small crowd, but still a crowd. The silhouettes of a hundred mingling, moshing bodies against a night-sky backdrop... loud music in a quiet town, so out-of-place and yet so right.
Suddenly, memories of 'why' found their way back into my mind. This was music we were talking about. The one thing in my life that I knew I could love without boundaries.
Music was my solid wall. Guardian angel, forcefield, protection.
And then, I tried to jump off.
~End.

Yeah... I've never tried something like this before. xD I wanted to try something different, from a point-of-view that would be completely different from my own. And I kinda created this Jaded!Young Adult type character. I left alot to the imagination in this character, but I wanted to make sure that I got across the almost romantic passion for music that this character has. xD Yes, it's very possible.
I guess this little drabble could be considered somewhat angsty, but I was kinda-sorta-almost going for that. xD Hope ya like.
