Her Music

She gets yelled at

and cries herself to sleep every night

But

when the sun rises

and she pulls herself

from her sleepless night

She gets ready

with her fake happiness

her fake smile

her now tear-less eyes

and her earbud

Her earbuds

that have kept her tear-less eyes tear-less

that remind her to smile

that give her enough happiness to live

All through those tiny earbuds

play her music

that has kept her alive

for year upon years
