Fear of Silence
Folder:
Personal (Melancholy) Some people are afraid of being alone
but my fear runs deeper than that.
I fear the quiet of the world
perchance my mind will
overwhelm the silence.
I cannot handle isolation
from these trivial distractions,
otherwise my thoughts could deafen me.
I sleep with the steady hum
of a television screen
to calm my unrelenting brain.
There is no greater fear
than the one you cannot escape.
