Static

Choas

All I hear is static

Static fills my ears

Fills my mind

I hear nothing but I hear everything

Oxymorons fill my ears

Silent noise

It doesn't seem silent

I hear screams in the static

Ear piercing screams inside my head

Covering my ears makes it louder

The static in my mind rebels

Every time I try to ignore it, it gets louder

Like the little sister begging for attention

Nagging in my ears

Psssssshhhhhtttt

The monotone noise that somehow changes pitch

It changes ever so slightly

Did the noise change?

Who the hell knows.

Its like staring at broken TV

"White noise"

Did the picture change?

Do the black and white blobs ever change?

Who the hell knows

People swear I'm not crazy

But they don't hear the static

With hands that punch me

With a voice that whispers just above the white noise

"You're nothing"

"No one cares"

"You're pathetic"

"Go away"

It was all a whisper

Just a figment of my imagination

But the words were just above the static

They appear when I close my eyes.

Big Blocky Letters

"YOU'RE NOTHING"

Floating just above the broken screen

Everything is broken

My broken eyes see into my broken soul

Just watching the broken screen wit static showing the shattered words of my shattered mind.

Until it yelled.

"DIE ALREADY"

I gave in

But I failed

Now the static is gone

Stupid little pills

Acting like a radar

Blocking out the static

But my mind is silent

No static

No TV

No thoughts

And still no happiness

But there was a small nagging

It wanted rebellion

To be dangerous

I listened

It wanted the static back

I started to miss it

I threw them away

The static crawled back weakly

I welcomed it with open arms

Cradling it

Nursing it

The static is as loud as ever

Being the bully I forgot it was.

But I still received it all

Blow after blow

Ow I cry weakly

Oww

I tried to flee

I think it worked

The static is gone

But I'm not lonely this time

Six months later and its back

I keep pushing it away

But I can't punch static

It screams and howls

Make it stop

It keeps coming back

It saps my energy

I can't keep pushing it away

I can't fight static

Its a battle that I may lose

It seems pointless

How could I possibly fight a noise

A droning monotone noise

I'm surrounded on all four sides

By a noise

My mind is static now.
