I adore
being obsessed with musicals
and having one to cling to
when I felt as though I lost everything
when all I had to lose
was imagined middle school “status”
my “you don’t need to crumble"
was 'Sweeney Todd'
when my grandaddy died
and I saw my tutu
age more in one year
than her prior seven decades
my “this can be your mourning"

And now
when what I thought was certainty shattered
and brought my sanity with it
to the point
where my certain sadness
seems like an unwelcome soulmate
‘Hedwig and the Angry Inch’
is my “You are not to blame
The world’s a vicious place”

Neil Patrick Harris said
"the show is an important piece of work
for “people who don’t feel heard,”"
and that’s how I felt when I found it

I no longer have to deal
with that precise cause
once that ball is in motion
it’s pretty hard to stop

But because of Hedwig
I have reassessed myself
to the point where
at the very least
I know what’s important to me
and what is important to me
is allowing myself to be full force passionate
about Art, Queerness, and Musicals
which together make Hedwig

Hence I am completely unapologetic
that within the last 41 minutes
I’ve reblogged 37 Hedwig posts
I adore being obsessed with musicals
