Silence

Silence

Silence. Silence. Silence. Silence. Silence. 
I can't think of anything else
Stop talking. Stop laughing. 
I cannot bear the noise.
Silence. Stop talking. 
The murmur is disturbing. 
Your voices are disturbing 
Your tales are disturbing 
I hate them.  I hate you
I hate everything. 
I have difficulty breathing
It hurts to breathe
My throat hurts. 
I suppressed my sobs. 
My chest hurts. 
I skipped a beat. 
Its all aches. 
It aches to exist. 
I don't want to exist.
