Her Music Box

The headphones
Go in
Introduction to her day
As she walks to the bus stop
The sees mouths move
But doesn’t make out
What they say

The soundtrack to her life
Every song in this devie
Holds meaning
Some bring rage
While others bring back happier times
Others remind her of current situation
Then there’s the one song
That makes he believe mere mortals can fly

As the harmonies invade her ears
She is pleased
Drowning out life
With each day
Makes the world seem better
The dawn of a bright future
Say goodbye to the past

The lies
Beatings
Cold winter when she was homeless
And all different types of sex to escape it

Born again
Or is this life after death?
Are you ready to die?
No this is all new
She has earned the right
To achieve some type of happieness
