Listen to Me

My Get Away Place

My get away place is where it is quiet and peaceful, it's like my heaven. It's different when the sun is down and the wind is blowing the trees ever so slightly as if they are waving at me. When the sun is down this place is my place. Where the children in the daylight rule, in the dark I am the one that rules. When the children are sound asleep in their beds, I am in their kingdom wide awake, listening to my music that soothes me.
I walk here late at night as my headphones in my ears. If someone sees me it's quiet and hearing some rocks under my shoes. All I hear is nothing but the music that is blasting in my ears, desperate, desperate to have the long day from earlier today disappear. One song ends and another begins just like the school days. Once the song begins it's upbeat, but really listen to the lyrics it's depressing trying to hide its true message. There are trees, street lights, dark spots, lurking animals in the shadows. Maybe some of the small animals are finding their place just like I am right now. I sit down on this marry-go-round and look up at the cloudless sky. I sit down on the edge and pump my leg to move around as I go my marry way. I start to think of the past day I spent so long trying to get through. I stop and get off and the music changes as I change spots on the at the playground. It's funny they say playground even though I don't play on the obstacles. Hours later I'm done thinking, getting air and then I head back home as my playlist comes to the end as I am ending my over thinking.
