He put his headphones

On

Telling his friend He

Was done

Talking.

He turned it up as loud

As he would

Dare,

Trying to interrupt

The world around

Him,

Trying to mute the

Voices inside his own

Head.

He got caught in the

Song,

And closed his eyes,

Once he did,

He stopped caring that

The bus wheels

where groaning,

And tried to make

Himself invisible,

By hiding himself

Inside the beat,

Of that song that

Told him to stay strong.

And then he ripped

His favorite headphones out,

Of his ears,

And stared out the window

Of the drowned world

On the other side of the

Glass.

Because he just couldn't

Handle being told to stay

Strong

One more

Time.
