I'v never dealt with anything quite like it
Nothing's ever been as persistent
Nor as omnipresent
It has never quit
It can bring about happiness and tears
Possibly the loudest thing on earth at times
See it enough, you become the same being
Sometimes it's one of my biggest fears
Running from it seems futile, useless I'm told
It can be avoided for a short while
Even then it's still there lurking
To embrace it I'm not sure I'm that bold
If there was a cure I'd buy it
It's beaten my most deafening scream
A most interesting thing
The Quiet
