The Noise
It’s complicated,
yet feels too easy-
My life too noisy and jaded,
for a weak woman like me.
I’ve tried to drown out the sounds of
the night-
I’ve yearned for the quiet of the emerald
field in the Spring.
I’ve thirsted for clarity when my eyes
have no sight,
but in my ears, all I hear is a loud ring.
Free me from this racket,
this uproar and confusion-
Give me one more reason,
to let go of this blaring illusion.
Before time created sound,
after the voices whispered with ease,
came this articulate pronunciation,
too noisy to cease.
I’ve become deaf-
Mute beyond reasonable doubt-
If this clashing insanity continues
my sensitive hearing wants out.
Complete pandemonium with
severe complications-
I’ve become baffled and
jumbled without alleviation.
The voices in my head
carry me into nightmares of delusion-
As the noise continues to drown
and create insane confusion.
