Poems

NOISE

If silence is golden

Then what the hell is sound

This emptiness is ringing

Noises all around

With so much static

I can't hear my own voice

I used to be lost cause I wanted to be

Now I have no choice

I keep talking talking talking

But those sounds don't mean a word

I keep screaming, telling you what I need

But I don't think you've heard

I wish I could blast the volume

I wish I could turn this down

This endless orchestra of my life

That keeps playing as I drown

I'm not sure if the sounds hurt me

Or if they make me feel more sane

I guess theres two sides to every thing

Even soundless pain
