The Noise

The noise, it’s too loud
Always knocking 
Always screaming 
God, the noise, it’s too loud!

I can’t sleep

I try to ignore it 

I try to fight it even 

But God, the noise, it’s too loud. 

My head hurts now

So does my heart

My eyes, bloodshot 

As the noise continues to bother me.

Make it stop

Why won’t it stop

Please, no more 

Fuck! The noise, it’s too loud. 

I want to ask it

May I rest? 

But deep down I know 

It will never listen 

I’m weak and drained 

Lifeless

but it does not care 

As the noise, is still too loud.
