No Quiet (poem)

Every time I try to close my eyes,
The world behind inflames and ignites,
It whispers and it screams,
It doesn't let me draw my dreams,
It an art - not a simple  one mind you,
It's  fluid, never the same,  always anew,
There's  no quiet, but there's  peace,
Even if I don't  recognize a singular  piece,
It's  always bustling, keeping me awake,
But once in awhile  it offers me a break.
I slip into a state of comatose,
Dead, or I seem to resemble so.
I dream what I remember naught,
But there are leftover emotions - trapped and caught.
Sometimes I pant heavily,
Sometimes I sigh dreamily,
But there's  never a quiet,
Not even in the middle of the night.
I've  tried,  to calm this racing mind,
But there's  no knowing what goes behind
An infinite pause on the momentous,
An abyss of chaos, pitiful and hilarious,
It's  everything  at once, and nothing  at all,
I believe  it's  equivalent to Alice's endless fall.
But it ends, and it repeats,
It's  not a loop, never the same beats,
But it reoccurs,  and it collides,
A memory unravels, A memory hides,
And I wonder sometimes - what if there was a quiet?
Would I enjoy the morning  silent light?
My company ends with me opening  my eyes,
And underneath  logic & reality, it awaits in disguise.
