"These are just songs in my head.." [ 10 | 25 | 2009 ]

5:22 AM marks the shot heard round my world every morning.

I write, I listen to music, and I think.

And if you, humble reader, happen to glance over what has been written and what will be written, then you will be seeing the product of these three things. But more importantly, you will have first hand insight into my life. And you will get to know me underneath the surface.

This blog is not just about missing home, adjusting to a breakup, or being overwhelmed with three weeks of sickness. What you read here is me at my most honest, most intimate, and, at times, most vulnerable. If you take the time out of your day to read these arrangements of words, take them for what they're worth. Because this is me.

These are just songs in my head, wanting to be heard.

This is Michael Stephen Smith in words.

Thanks for reading.
