Who Knew

who knew that i could get worse
who knew that no one would be
able to help me.
who knew, that turning up the volume
and listening to some stranger say things
that anyone else could say
but don't have the heart to
would actually help

who knew that listening to music would
solve my problems for a little while.
who knew that disconnecting, tuning out
the people in this world would make
me feel ten million times better.
getting lost in poetic words and
heart pattering beats
can make you forget
about everything.
