Silence

Just imagine.. Sitting in your cushioned chair Comfortable as you can be You close your eyes and begin to rest Everything is so calm.. . . . The timer rings insanely! The microwave beeps! Your alarm goes off! Subs pulsating outside! The radio is screaming! Children shriek without reason! Why is it so Loud?! The clanging of dishes! Slamming of doors! Cabinets smacking! Washer! Dryer! Running Water! Thundering yells for dinner! Piercing yells of complaints! Must it be so Loud?! Stove hisses! Feet stomp! Senseless yelling! All of it at once! Try to talk over it! It's just too much! Why so freaking LOUD?! It's all noise! Just NOISE! Slamming! Crashing! Booming! AGH! Is it necessary?! I'm screaming in tears to make it stop! I can't stand it anymore! All of it! Just SHUT UP! Stop being so LOUD!! . . . Silence In a world of sound Let yourself escape Everything is calm Nothing is here to bother you Calm, breathe, unwind, it's okay.. Everything is Silence
