I Listen To Music On The Bus

I listen to music 

On the bus 

With my teal earbuds. 

 

The songs 

Do not drown out the noise 

That bothers me so much 

They simply dull it 

So I do not care. 

 

I can hear you yelling 

But I do not mind. 

 

I can hear you swearing 

But I do not mind. 

 

I can hear you teasing 

But I do not mind. 

 

I do not know 

If it is good 

That I can tune out the world 

And go to my own 

So easily. 

 

Should I learn 

To appreciate 

The busy chatter 

That is made up 

Of constant swearing 

And unbearable nonsense? 

 

I do not know 

But right now 

I listen to music 

On the bus.

    Is a hero rushing into battle

    Ready to fight

    For their passion


    Stupid

    Is a hero rushing into battle

    you would know,

    they whisper

    like kindergarteners

    who can't stand straight in lines

    but they can jump straight
