Karaoké Just Breathe The Prom (musical) (Caitlin Kinnunen)

Note to self

Don't be gay in Indiana

Big heads up

That's a really stupid plan

There are places where it's in to be out

Maybe San Francisco or thereabout

But in Indiana without a doubt if you're not straight then guess what's bound to hit the fan

Just breathe, Emma

Not everyone is that repressed

Just breathe, Emma

It wouldn't be high school without a test

Just close your eyes and count to ten

Go to your happy place and then try not to combust

Just breathe

Hey Emma

Who's this girl you're gonna bring to the prom anyway

I didn't know we had more than one lesbo in town

You don't know her she's new here

Like, an exchange student

Well then why you don't like

Maybe exchange her for a guy

Dude, nice

Note to self

People suck in Indiana

Leave today

Pray the Greyhound isn't full

Who knew asking out a girl to the prom would go over just like an atom bomb

And make things much worse with your dad and mom

And who'd have ever thought that could be possible

Just breathe, Emma

Picture a beach with golden sand

Just breathe, Emma

Picture a Xanax in your hand

Try journaling or start a blog

Just end this inner monologue

Seethe if you must

But just breathe

Ok

I just got off the phone with the state's attorney

Like I suspected, she thinks this is a civil rights issue

This is a big deal, Emma

Oh shit

Sorry

We'll get through it

Take a sec

Relax

Come in when you're ready

Just breathe, Emma

Remember that thing called oxygen

Just breathe, Emma

Look at the crazy state you're in

Just smile and nod although they're jerks

Say namaste and pray it works

And like we've discussed just breathe
