Quiet

My head hasn't been quiet in a long time.

Constantly filled with worries, songs, and thought

Even as I fall asleep my brain is buzzing loudly

Going seemingly a mile a minute

But if my head was quiet what would that mean

I wouldn't have a song in the background

I would not think of tea or rain or friends

It would be completely quiet

As if in a very dark room with no other people

Quiet and frightening

And if I become quiet can I become loud again?

Will the buzz and the noise ever come back

But if I start again would I ever want it to be quiet again?

So yes my head hasn't been quiet in a very long time

But who would want to be locked in a room with no light and only the sound

of your own heartbeat to keep you company
