• "You're useless!",
    "I hate you!".
    This is all I hear,
    Their spiteful words fill me with fear.

    But I don't care,
    I push them away.
    I plug in my headphones,
    My finger presses play.

    The music begins,
    I close my eyes.
    My head fills with lyrics,
    My heart soars through the skies.

    It blocks out the hate,
    It blocks out the mess.
    But when the music stops...
    "You're useless!"
