Deafening Silence

Concealed behind a curtain

I waited

Loneliness tearing at me

Like a savage lion

Peripheral rabble drowned

By a numbness

I wished could reach my mind

How had I got here?

Why hadn't someone/ anyone asked the right questions?

Why couldn't they see?

So obviously...

I was losing my mind...

As they wheeled me away

A can on a conveyor belt

All I could feel

Was the deafening silence of solitude
