No Escape

Lost in the silence around me

I am not comforted by silence

instead I am mocked by it’s cold stare

peering into my soul and heart

resurfacing the pain

that I thought I had done a good job of hiding away

I need the noise of my life

I need the noise to drown out the feeling

but as the ultimate slap in the face

that noise also adds to my pain in the end

so I am stuck with nowhere to go

nowhere to sleep in peace

so what do I do?

knowing that I can not escape

what I deny with my actions
