Glitter Gold - Snap Crackle Pop
It came in a glitter gold envelope
Full of joy
Full of hope
Full of insight
And full of possible fear
Dark, smooth and shiny
Loaded with a matallic strain
Not half today
A fully loaded bar
It tastes bitter but beautiful
Lovely with wine from a beaker
How British
The chat is good
The smiles are large
The laughs are real
A short walk to break the seal
That's where I discover the true deal
Another smile
I know it's coming
Anticipation and healthy anxiety
What will I feel
What will I learn
What will I see
It starts with a slight weight on my shoulders
Gravity pushing me to the grass
The colours of everything spilling across the distance like lasers looking for bombers
I lie back on to the soft cotton grass that hugs me
Dave has his arms wrapped around me
I look at the trees in the fields which are melting
The cows charging in musical notes
The ash from the fire wood floats in the air and covers me
I'm part of the earth
I put my head back and she looks like a rockstar in rockstar shades on a plastic throne
3D Black upon a skyblue sky
Sharing our own stories and emotions
I look up to the sky
Red dots appear and grid reference the sky
Geometric patterns fill the spaces above
The distant sun is huge in the sky and travelling away leaving a golden and silvery shimmering vapour trail
You can hear every animal in the woods
You can hear every insect in the grass
Every blade calm and in perfect high definition
The fires smoke dancing and flicking
The soundtrack of Snapped Ankles driving everything
The mood
The chat
The colours and sounds
The fire dies
The sun leads to tears
It's cold
Inside the tent
We're in a circus
We're in a space ship that has crashed landed on a hillside
The women with neon pink clothes and electric blue hair welcomes us
The music is loud within the tent
We're timelords in our own TARDIS
No one can hear us
I proved it with science
The laughs explode into colour
Everything is everything
My eyes are sonically colours with the laugh
The sound is a physical thing that makes your face ache
The slope in the tent feels like we're on the side of a mountain not of this green and pleasant lands
The grey slug appears
Like the hungry Caterpillar meets a whitchity grub
It has its own dumpy Snapped Ankles sound and glistening grey crushed velvet skin
The laughs explode into colour again
The pain in my face is real
I collapse inside the slug
Boneless
Spineless
Time makes no sense
I don't know what it means
Who actually am I
What am I for
Is this another final breakdown
All the words are within
Am I scared
Am I real
What is real
Will this end and how
What's tomorrow
What this is is freedom
Freedom to talk
Freedom to think
Freedom to grow
Freedom to learn
No judgement in yourself
An opportunity to reset
Loss of shame and loss of guilt
I know I'll lose people by being myself
By being who I've discovered within me
I'd rather that than be a fake
It'll hurt and probably more me than them as usual
How far is adapting and compromising before you end up miserable and settling
How much are you willing to trade for the attention of another
Within reason
None
I wake to the sound of rain
Watching the drops of fresh air water race down the sides of our tent
It's a tent again
The circus has moved on
The shuttle has blasted off to another sun
I know who I am that little bit more
Still work to do
Keep being honest no matter how hard it is
Keep keeping that temper down but if someone needs to be told, tell them
Fuck em
It came in a glitter gold envelope
Full of joy
Full of hope
Full of insight
And full of possible fear
It ends with the truth and 100% of me
Full of joy
Full of hope
Full of insight
And full of possible fear
Dark, smooth and shiny
Loaded with a matallic strain
Not half today
A fully loaded bar
It tastes bitter but beautiful
Lovely with wine from a beaker
How British
The chat is good
