I feel the beat thump around my ears, the melodies flowing and twisting like a river, harmonising tunes singing like a song bird. Music for only my ears to hear.

Sounds of crowds of other entities taint my music, littering it with their meaningless conversations. I refuse to crank up the volume in fear that I would decimate my ears and others around me would listen in to my tunes.

I subconsciously mouth the lyrics to the song, tapping my feet and nodding my head to its addictive rhythm. I begin humming the mesmerising melody, surprising myself with my own impressive vocal range.

I cup my hands around my ears, as the sounds of the public area become too loud. Their voices become muffled mumblings overpowered by my magnificent music.

I gently close my eyes, swaying to the music. I feel like I'm just alone, in my room of solitude with the volume high with my spirits. It feels almost therapeutic.

I open my eyes back to reality. I see their lips moving whilst in amongst their chatter, but their incessant muffled words still plagued my eardrums. I prayed for them just to quieted down, just a little. Just so I don't need to hold my hands against my ears only for my favourite tunes.

Why must we all be so loud?
