Silence

Silence is my best friend...or only friend that is... Which makes noise my enemy...Bitter, bitter enemy... Peace is what the echoes of silence bring Chaos is the way I process noise pollution And pollution it is... Nothing good comes from continuous chatter The constant hum like all of the insects Is that what we've become to each other? Annoying little pests, tiny little insects... Please lock me in a closet with my company Where I don't have to speak...or listen Where I don't have to make wrong decisions It's comforting this silence and me Never having to worry about what its thinking Because I am that thought... Quiet boy in the corner lost... Forget me, remember me not Without silence I'm lost... And with it too... bmdavey@07/19/2022
