When I sang at concert hour, I finally felt like myself again. It was so overwhelming that I started shaking at the end of the song. I’ve been waiting for that feeling this whole school year. It was like I had been sleep walking or going through the motions and just trying to get acclimated. It was a dull and miserable thing at the same damn time. No one wants to feel so dead and small and alone. I waited too long to perform again, but at least the beast is awake now.
