i cant stand the racket of peace and quiet anymore

the silence screams at me

right in my ear

from the depths of the soul

as if its life depended on it



i cant stand the pain anymore

it pierces my eardrums

lights up my head

like embers from a campfire

leaves my body to freeze

like fingers after a snowball fight



i cant stand the voices anymore

that say i must bring them peace

so why do you incite me to struggle with myself

make me feel like i need to step off the edge

let these thoughts intrude in my head



let me



                              think

                                                think



                                                              think



i cant stand the feeling anymore

of knowing

i will never have thought to the end of my thoughts



for thinking never stops
