Chaos Among Clouded Minds

Excuse me but can you possibly lower the volume of your thoughts ?

I've come to learn that sounds effect me very differently than other people.

Everything

and everyone

is a lot louder in my mind.

like the volume got turned way up and then

got stuck.

  A pen can drop onto the desk behind me and it sounds

deafening.

It echo's loudly and I want to flinch and cover my ears

even though I know no one else noticed.

  People

are a lot noisier too.

A boy behind me in class laughed so loud and his voice was so overwhelmingly present it made me want to curl into a ball

and cry.

  Everything

              and

everyone

is just so big and loud; it makes me feel so small and scared.

I wonder what it feels like, to not be affected by simple everyday noises?

Must

                 be

wild.
