The silence is deafening

It hurts my head

The thoughts are echoing

and my brain is aching for peace

The lights are out

and i wonder is something lurks inside

preying on me

when i am alone

I can hear my mind

telling me I am

not enough

I can feel my brain shutting down

I can feel my body repulsing at itself

when I look in the mirror

I can sense everything around me

I can hear the stars mocking me

I can hear the wind laugh at me

I can even hear the way the water curls away

This silence is so loud

I can hear a pin drop

and I can hear an angels wings

I can feel the tiny voices creeping up on me

This silence is so loud

I have never felt such a thing

It is painful

agonizing even

I can hear the way people stare

and I can hear the way people judge

I swear I can hear everyone around me

telling me I am not good enough

This silence is so loud

I need sound to fill this space

but instead i am alone in the dark

with my monsters

and my ugly face

…
