The Sound of Silence

A monster in the room

A creepy crawly nightmare  

It's one goal: to consume.

It's a sound, but not a sound at all; and it makes you chase your tail, round and round, circles in your head.

 you're going crazy and you know it. but you don't. That's the crazy talking. 

shhhhhhhhhhhh.

panic sinks it's head under and you swim in the emptiness of your own mind. 

Like the river of souls you float along, everywhere to go, nowhere to be. 

Naked but covered you are exposed to nothing. 

your mind has a blankness that no one knows the meaning to. 

you are not here, nor there. 

let it go. 

forget. 

Calmness wraps it's arms around you. 

sinking down.

Breathe...

1...2...3...

Breathe... 

This is what it feels like to be 

Silence.

A monster.

a creepy crawly nightmare.

your one goal is to

Consume.
