My headphones are on
again.
I think the music m ight be getting to my h
ead. Seriously, t hese headphones feel like they’re glued to me when my mu sic is on, and I used to not be able ttto take them off outside of class. But when class did come
around and that chaotic bell ranggs, they always slisd off like they’re supposed to. I do
n’t get it. I really don’t.
And I physically can’t take them off. You might just think it’s a mental thing, like I simply don’t want to take them off, but
really, when I try to slide them off to just…take a break fro
m the music, almost, they just don’t come off. They stay there, like they’ve become one with me or somet hing.
I am the headpho,. nes. The headphones are me.
Something weird li .;’
ke that.
And then I w as sitting at home, listening to my music that I’ve grown tired of and feeling the almost sticky leather. I tried tojdf turn it down, but there was a proble with my mp3 where it stayed locked at one volume after I d
ropped it in the toilet once. I just wanted to go to slee
p. But I couldn’t, with the bass ringing in my eardrums.
My mom had finally bou ght me sleeping pills a week before this, with extreme reluctance. She didn’t believe that I physical
y couldn’t take off my headphones, but she got me them anyway after I showed her that I really couldn’t.
But tonight, the sleeping pills just weren’t working. My eyelids whh
ere heavy and I was wrecked with extreme fatigue, but something inside me just refused to finally shut down. My brain, maybe.
After a few more minutes of me staring up at my blank and boring ceiling, I finally got up.
But as soon as my feet touched the ground, I spun around in a circle.
What?hh
My feet
started moving around on their own, my body swaying and dancing around my room gracefully. I didn’t know how to dance but apparently something in me d id.
I twirled and gallo
ped in the halls, and I wondered how my parents couldn’t hear my loud footsteps. I finally leaped out of the door, skiddi
ng and dancing on the sidewalk while my feet turned brown with collected dirt.
I didn’t know w’
‘hat was going on. But now I do.

I8 haven’t stopped dancing since
. That’s why my texr is so breaky and wrongf I’m danicing mywhile trying to get my last words down. My arms are tired, and my legs feel like they’re going to just fall off.
I’m probably
going to collapse s
