american [teenage] idol
I never thought a career as a musician was possible
— Billie Eilish
she’s just a person born of this century
unable to describe herself with words
the songs come from out of nowhere
as if channeled by a diva born ages ago
being misunderstood is an understatement
the higher notes no longer intimidating
the synergy of courage & independence
brings forth new life and countless encores
once the lights fade & the curtain is drawn
she retreats to a world she barely knows
january two thousand twenty-three
