I’m listening to Siouxsie and the Banshees The song “Happy House” repeatedly I’m laughing at the irony The projections of a prefect family Blonde hair, smiles and sunshine everywhere Everybody’s thin and everyone cares But sadly, that’s not our reality That’s just something we see on the TV screens
What we have is husband’s beating wives Children on the street dying from a high Angels losing their faith because of **** And body size is always on the mind But like Siouxsie says it’s safe & calm if you sing along “This is a happy house, we’re happy here in the happy house To forget ourselves and pretend all’s well There is no hell.”
Music has and always will be an escape from this ****** reality. This poem is based on one of my favourite songs that makes me feel a little more “sane”
