She is crying

                so loudly i hear it

                                       through my earphones

The big sniff sniff

                       sobs stuck in throat

                                                what can fix this crying

The kind of crying

                       that doesn't want to be heard

                                                            but ends up anyway

My earphones are supposed to

                                        block the world out

                                                                 sadly

Family Dollar isn't RCA

                             and i can still hear

                                                     her crying
