silent cry

People are walking around me. I can hear sounds from every direction; shoes squeaking at contact with the floor, a wheelchair driven around, someone running. These sounds are the only things keeping me from breaking down.

all this blaring. It's so loud I can't hear my own thoughts; and maybe that's good. It's annoying, but it works as a distraction, and that is exactly what I need.
