The Power of Music (Hey Oh)
I listen to the airwaves and drown in the sounds.
Apr 6, 2024
I keep my head down, my headphones plastered to my ears.
I keep my head down, the music blaring in my brain.
I keep my head down, the train rattling along the tracks.
I keep my head down, eyeing the scuffed black sneakers of a man sitting across from me.
Then I look up and see a woman staring back at me.
Her eyes are kohl, her lips are red, and her smile tells me she has a secret.
But I look down.
I have enough secrets of my own.
I don’t need any others.
The music keeps me safe.
