[b][u]No Place For Silence[/u][/b]

They hunger
See how they stare
Predatory eyes so keen
Scanning
Searching
Where is it?
They know it must be there
What is it?
Something
Anything
A truth
A lie
A distraction
They fantasize about it
The occupied mind
Busy in another's company
Busy in obsession
Mindlessly busy
A constant din
White noise in the mind
A container that is full
No place for emptiness
No time for quiet
Don't even speak it!
Nightmarish solitude
Terrifying clarity
For in that space is nothing
Save for my thoughts
And that which remembers
All my wrongs
All my shame
All my pain
Laid bare in that place of silence
Cover it up
Turn up the volume
Click another video
Play another game
Bury me in work so that there is no time
No place for silence
