Deafening Silence

An empty room,
A hollow hall,
No other soul,
No one at all.
Alone with myself,
The quiet is consuming
Not a word is spoken
Yet the noise is resuming.

I cannot escape my own ponderings
I cannot flee the wonderings.
And my thoughts scream enough for a crowd.
Who knew silence could be so loud?

I want to run,
Run far away.
Far from everything,
Everything my mind is trying to say.
All that I know,
All that I fear
All that I treasure,
All that I hold dear.

I am away from the people,
Gone from the cacophony
But in the end, in the end,
I can’t flee very far from me.

I cannot escape my own ponderings
I cannot flee the wonderings.
And my thoughts scream enough for a crowd.
Who knew silence could be so loud?
