Alluring Headphones

When pressure encompasses me,
you are always there to comfort me.

You ease my pain,
make me feel uplifted,
like the magic of a mother’s sweet words.

They told me you were a distraction,
I agreed, for I have seen you send people to trances.
They told me you were too loud,
I accepted, for I have used you to ignore their comments.
They told me you enticed me,
I concurred, as time flies quickly when I’m with you.

I always learn through the lyrics you play,
fascinated by the melody.
The soothing beats brighten up my day,
bringing a smile to my face.

I place you on my ears,
to tune out the world,
and tune into myself
because sometimes,
I have to be the only one who matters.
