PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

My life is not

characterized by silence.

In fact, I have very few

moments of quiet.

Peace is something

I have never known.



I try to fill every minute

with some distraction

or diversion to keep

my thoughts at bay.



Even when I am about to sleep.

I go to sleep

with the television on.



It’s not that I don’t

like the silence.

I’m just trying to stifle

the screaming thoughts in my head.
