Earphone Blasting
Trying to chase away the tears
trying not to pass out
Close my eyes
let my feet travel
this familiar road home
Breathe in
Suddenly get a whiff
of pine needle trees
reminds me of christmas
Breathe in
another Whiff
stronger the scent
smile spreads
I imagine this is what
the North Pole smells like
clean and fresh, full of life
I feel my muscles
unwinds, letting go
unfurling from their tense stance
Breathe in
one more time
open my eyes
Ok I can do this
and I carry on

Trying to chase away the tears
trying not to pass out
Close my eyes
let my feet travel
this familiar road home
Breathe in
Suddenly get a whiff
of pine needle trees
reminds me of christmas
Breathe in
another Whiff
stronger the scent
smile spreads
I imagine this is what
the North Pole smells like
clean and fresh, full of life
I feel my muscles
unwinds, letting go
unfurling from their tense stance
Breathe in
one more time
open my eyes
Ok I can do this
and I carry on
