Nobody's noise





The voices in my head

The things you left unsaid

Or which i said 

Haunt me in my dreams

Takes grotesque forms 

Scar my sacred school grounds

My hopeful yesterday should not be seeing

The somewhat disappointing today


Turned too loud 

Even a melaconcholic symphony is

A cruel cacophony 

A wound caused by words 

Never truly heals

My subconscious is

Just one infinite reel

Help me move on

 to the next scene


Should you not speak at all?

No it's not that hard

Just be kind

Treat me like you 

Inherently expect me to

Treat you

Its not  your birthright

To subject me to noise

Just because you are deaf

To sounds of the ones you allegedly love

She sang to me



From the internet 


A child of the city
The nature never sang to me
Neither did I ever listen to her
Eardrums drowned by noise
Cannot really fish for nuances you see

Then one rainy Sunday afternoon
The trees and the clouds and the concrete and the tarmac
Colluded successfully and concocted a seductive symphony
A consciousness stripped off all complications

Wanting to rewind and live it all over again.

Inspired by the prompt ' uncomplicated things' by Leonard Cohen's Moon. Thank you Toads for such a great prompt. You can find other takes on the topic here
