Headphones Poem by Ellie Foe

Headphones

Rating: 5.0


I try...
my mind punches itself
over and over.

Pounding on my ears,
Pounding,
Pounding
pounding

The silence stabs me.
The sounds bandage my ears.
Wrap them in a blanket.

Give the silence treatment
to my world,
to your world,
to our world.

Pretend to escape.
I'll act like I'm ok,
With being ok.

Fall into something,
False.

I don't want to exist
for just
3: 46.

I try...
so hard...
to be ok...
