Shutting down.

The sounds of voices fill the air,
They fall like waterfalls into my ears.
Each memory fills my brain and overflows unto my cheeks.
The cold touch of the wall presses itself into my spine as I slide down.
My legs can't hold my weight.
My body shakes with the cries of the night,
I wonder if peace is anywhere in sight.
I shut everyone out, it's the only way I know how.
Slowly everything starts to return to normal as i force the tears to stop.
"Think of something funny." I tell myself.
I stand up and resume my life as normal.
Nobody notices because I don't let it show,
After all they don't need to know.
