those times
where all i want
is silence
to hear nothing
and finally feel
a sense of peace.
but no matter what i try
no matter how silent i try to make my surroundings
i can never escape
the ringing in my ears.
wherever i go
whatever i'm doing
it's always there
ringing
i've grown so used to it
the only time i notice it
is when i'm in
complete silence.
sometimes it gets too much
and the ringing grows louder
intense thumping
in my eardrums
the only thing i can hear
when all i want
is some silence.
it can grow overwhelming
it can grow unbearable
sometimes like screaming voices
inside my ears
but i've survived it
my whole life
the times where i thought
i was so close to being deaf
where there was nothing
nothing at all
but screaming
shrill, ringing
terribly terrifying
screaming
inside my ears
torturing my hearing
straining my brain
something there
reaching out for it
on the edge of my grasp
but i can't quite
reach it.
