Ears Ringing

Sound ringing now so loudly

It stops and still it takes control

Piercing ringing through my ears

This is one of my greatest fears

Losing all I love to hear



Need not to worry

My hearing will be back in a hurry

Give me a day or two

And then I'll listen to you

I'll know what you want to say



Playing drums to loud music

Isn't such a bad lifestyle

Keeps me busy for a while

Keeps me out of denial

Reminds me what this world is like



Playing my heart out

Just to hear you shout

Lovely, I wish you were there

Just so I know that you care

Let me know you are still alive



Feeling quite tired

Usually I am so wired

But after doing what I do

To help reach out you you

Sometimes it wears me out



Goodnight

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Just got back from my first Sheltered Reality show I've had for a while.  I almost forgot the rush I get!  I love it so much!  I have a headache now and I can barely keep my eyes open...the poem just speaks the truth- don't try to read into it too deep.
