Battle

The silence is deafening

I can’t shut out that sound

The white noise

It prevents me from rest

Allowing all the demons to rise to the surface

The silence deafening

The brightness is blinding

I try to black it out

The light is torture

It disrupts me from wallowing

Trying to force me to wake

The brightness is blinding

The air is suffocating

I claw at my chest; choking

I gasp for solace

Heavy with hate

It stops me from calming

The air is suffocating

I can not go on living this way

Something is bound to break

My senses in overload just trying to survive

The war I wage inside
