It’s so quiet. Everything is so loud. Silence ringing in my head. Everything is too loud. Even the silence. It hurts my ears. My brain is taking the punishment.

So detached from everything, but much too involved. Where am I? All I know is silence. Everything’s much too loud.

Where are my emotions? Just an automaton, a robot siting here. Silence is my only companion. It doesn’t take away the noise.
