Cacophony

Caught in a full on dog fight 
already grabbed by the throat
cacophony of growling 
orbiting through my mind
playing a dangerous game 
here we go again 
overthinking, shouting 
nothing nice to say 
yet I sit here, silence screaming.

Melani, if I had a dollar for how often my silence was screaming I would be living on my own paid-off island in the Caribbean.
