Noise roaring inside my head,
Words, voices, sounds, images,
Jumbled in a spinning swirl,
Never-ending,pounding, pulsing.
I scream for silence, peace, relief,
Laughter at my need for quiet,
The roar grows loader, faster,
My head swims with sound.
I struggle to understand the sounds,
Why are they all so loud?
I am scared now.
I strain to hear the words,
What are they saying to me?
WHen the noise stops and silence comes,
I wonder why I sought this quiet,
For there is no peace and no relief,
In the empty, lonely absence of sound.
