Musical Notes That Soothe the Soul

You come home with a grim expression Ignoring the screaming and fighting Another trashed night of insults and threats from your parents Blams flying left and right but the only thing you can think about is getting to your santuary Placing the headphones on, blocking the noises of broken glass and collapsing bodies You hit play quickly and soon your day has suddenly become more bareable You relax finally and lay yourself down on your floor Holding yourself in the fetal position, hugging your knees tightly You close your eyelids and take a deep breath No more fighting No more sadness Only happiness and joy fill your mind The beats and different tones coarse through your ears not screams and insults You tap your index fingure on your knee to the beat of the music Humming and singing to the lyrics You begin to imagine your own little world where you can escape to You smile widely as you see your parents looking at you and grinning back They invite you into their arms for a warm embrace You take it all in, making sure not to miss a single moment You cry tears of happiness and bliss You look up to them and you say: "I Love you" But when your world suddenly began to fade away and reality came into view You brace yourself for the blow to your stomach Crashing to the ground, you hold youself and cover your face Your mother shouting and pleading your father to stop Your hair being pulled, slamming you against the wall Grabbing your arms tightly he squeezes as hard as he could, hearing the crunch Your blood curdling scream doesn't phase him a bit Your mother tries to help you but he slams her into the corner of the wall You slump to your floor again, laying there as you have a clear view of what is happening Suddenly a knife comes raining down, you hold out your arm Your mother now is suffering pain so severe He comes up to you and roughly kicks your face He leaves as you hear tires screaching and slowly the sound fades away Now the only thing you hear is your so called 'little world' behind you As your vision suddenly turns black
