A sudden cacophony

Symptoms louder

Than life

Fervor at onset

Seeking solutions

To problems misunderstood

Unclear answers

A directionless path

To follow alone

Dissonance faded

Alongside life

As it was known

New sounds to be heard

Discovered, nurtured,

Understood

But louder they grew

A din once again

Rising anew

Screaming pain

Into every space

Taking over

A crescendo

Steadily growing

Notes always changing

Without an end

Instead there had to be

A moment of ease

Not from the noise outside

Or from the physical form

Out of control

A time to breathe

Reconnect silently

Within

The soul hidden

Behind the symptomatic sound

Deafening and terribly powerful

But so is she

Or should I say

Me
