Thirteen (Big Star)
I always get yelled at
For having my headphones in
Or even one in
Because I’m not being present
But I have them in
And play music
To quiet the loud voices
In my head
Please do not yell at me
For trying to live a life
Of constant noise
I can still hear you
Just not them
For having my headphones in
Or even one in
Because I’m not being present
But I have them in
And play music
To quiet the loud voices
In my head
Please do not yell at me
For trying to live a life
Of constant noise
I can still hear you
Just not them

Author's Note
My headphones and music are my reason for living I cannot live without it. It’s not just the fact that music is ethereal and strong and emotional, but that it also quiets things down, transports me different places, I can feel it throughout my whole entire body. It’s something else, something otherworldly.

Brilliant write. I can relate to this ink. Music is such a huge part of my life. But sometimes Heaven can be found in my headphones. My moods and function even often depends on what music I have blasting. Most of all the voices.. It truly can tame the savage beast. Into the list it belongs. Appreciate you.

I understand. I used to teach a well-being group at a counseling center. Half the class wore headphones in one ear. Many people need music or some other noise to drown out the noise inside their heads. It’s totally natural (I don’t use the word normal).
Girl, do you. Nobody else has to understand.

Completely relate to this. Music is so important to me as well. One of the only things that can break through the loudness of my head. I've always believed that music is one of the things that has kept me sane. It can speak directly to your soul. It can understand and comfort you on a level that no one else can.
I have music playing pretty much from the time i wake up until i go to sleep. I crack my eyes in the morning and a song will be in my head immediately and I have to play it. So, you are definitely not alone. I also enjoy singing (even though Im terrible at it), so if I can't play music for some reason, I'll just sing to myself. Lol
