Yesterday, I came back from hospital. The world is too loud. I want to hide. I would like to go back, I want to hide. Cover my ears. Close my eye. Stop my brain. Scream. Scream! Yesterday, I came back from hospital. I'm doing too much, they say. There is a therapist. There are doctors for my back. There is a psychiatrist. They talk and talk to each other. I ride my wheels today. Bewildered. The world is too loud Far too loud.

Hope this is not based on your own reality. But if so, I wish you a quick recovery! I like this, Darren.

Thanks Andrea, and although it is indeed my reality, this is first and foremost a poem :)

I live in a serene environment! The only thing that MAYBE too loud is the music I listen to! Hope you are coping well, my friend!
