4.
headphones.
hello. im never alone. ever.
i try to get away from it all. away from everything. alone.
its impossible.
i put on my headphones to get away from everyone. the music drowns out the sound of words, keys, tears.
i turn the music louder. i know someone is trying to talk to me.
i ignore them. this is my time.
the strings spiral inside my head, the music soothes my brain.
thousands of miles from home, i sit with music in my head.
people around me carry on, as if nothing has changed.
looking up, i see they are all there.
music is my only retreat from them, my only time alone.
i close my eyes. for those seconds i am alone. away from everything.
i never want this music to end, but i know it has to. |
