Rock
in his room
he lies face up
on the bed
his expression blank
staring at the ceiling.
there's an iPod
in his hand
headphones trailing out of it
and the ear buds in his ears
he's playing a sad song
one that reminds him
of times past
and one
that makes him long
for the future.
he can't take it anymore.
he switches the song
"Shut Me Up"
by Mindless Self Indulgence
he sits up
his hair
covering his eyes,
not intentionally
but because he hasn't cut it
for a while.
his head thrashing
along with the beat
the volume takes away
all the thoughts
feelings
he had
when the other song
was playing
making him numb again.
rock has that effect
on him.
