Senseless scribbles

Too loud!

My mind is too loud

like hundreds of pedestrians

chattering and walking above

and I'm stuck in the subway

that loud!

I plead to stay quiet for a while

but it gets louder than the outside

And amidst that noise

there's one voice

A voice so familiar yet strange

it calls out my name

almost whispers

yet I can hear it so distinctly

I try to peer through the crowd

and reach out

As I inch closer the crowd fade

I see myself

now I recognize the voice

it's mine. And it asked me:

Why did it take so long to

hear your own cry?
