Four songs, a lifeline in the drive
Guiding me home, keeping me alive
Repeat and rewind, the melodies flow
Through valleys and highways, where emotions grow
Each note, a thread weaving through my soul
An anchor in the storm, a beacon to hold
Without them, the road would stretch too far
A journey of despair, a distant star
The rhythm of hope, the lyrics of strength
Carrying me forward, no matter the length
In the music’s embrace, I find my way
Through the darkness, into the light of day
Five and a half hours, a path to tread
With the songs as my companions, leading ahead
No turning back, no end in sight
Just the music, guiding me through the night
Knowing something had to change and I had to leave Wisconsin, I gave myself two choices. The first one was extremely enticing. I would drive to Nevada and go to a Casino. If I won big, my problems would be solved, and if I lost all my money, I was going to jump off the Hoover Dam and finally end it all. My second choice, was to go back to my home state, Michigan, and try to save what shred of life I had left. I chose Michigan.
The drive was hard. I wanted to turn around so badly, go to Nevada, and choose to be rich or die. There are four songs that I played on repeat, to keep me going. I could hardly see because I was crying hysterically the entire time. These songs kept me going. My life wouldn't be easy when I got there, but I made the choice to go "home," and work on myself. Things are not great, and I still struggle immensely, but I am so grateful and proud of myself for choosing Michigan. For becoming who I am today; Someone who does what's right no matter the cost. Someone who has strong passion to make changes and solve injustice and save lives. I needed a me, so I became the person I needed, at all stages of my life. Below are the songs.
