• a note written about how i can't sleep and how i hate any form of sound that's coming from anybody else :-(
————————————————————————

there's nights where i want pure silence
to reflect on my day and what ive said,
the night is peaceful and not meant to be shared,
but what can you do in an apartment with only one room and three people
yourself
your mother
& your brother
and after being diagnosed
any form of sound is bothersome
at night my thoughts are fast as cars
and i could just wish i had quiet to fully take them in as i cry quietly
at night i wish I was able to just hear myself breathing,
the sound of the outside,
my neighbors enjoying their night together,
the soft wind blowing,
the sound of my typing,
i was never bothered by the sound of having another person in the room
but ever since my mind changed
since my feelings changed
i, myself changed
none of my nights have been peaceful
so i guess ill never have another quiet night for a while.
