Headphones

They tried to save me...
But I was too far gone
They called me crazy..
So I played along

As you are shifting for the first time you will begin to notice you will never be the same person you used to be. The things you used to tolerate have now become intolerable. Where you once remained quiet you are now speaking the truth. Where you once battled and argued you are now choosing to remain quiet. You are begging to understad your power of voice and strength and there are some situations that no longer deserve your time, energy, and focus.

Something always happens to cause this shift, heart break, death, losing a job, maybe getting kicked out of your apartment. Whatever the case it changes you, you now see everything in a new light. Sometimes they motivate you, other times it drags you into a world of pain.

In Evan Werth's case, she was framed. A end of the year school prank gone wrong, fingers were pointed, threats were made, cops got involved and everything ended with Evan getting sent away for two years; coming back for her senior year alone and completely different. Something in her mind...broken. Old friends, new teachers, fights, and pissed off parents. She fights to keep herself in check but dark thoughts cloud her mind every moment of the day. Her only defence is the music that comes through her headphones, the only thing keeping the people around her safe.

In Logan Luck's case, his family was abandoned by his father. Left with nothing but $20 to their name, a baby on the way, and two children who need to eat. Secretly working an after school job he fights to keep the good reputation he has going at school. Good grades, friends from all different cliques, not in the spotlight but also not in the dark. But anger burns his insides like a flame. Anger towards the world, himself, and his father. Anger for not speaking up when he knew what really happend during that incident in freshman year.
