Too Loud

 Why is the silence so thunderous? 

Boom!

Boom! 

BOOM!

Make it stop!

Fill it with busy noise.

TV.

Eating.

Alcohol.

I can't think.

I don't want to think.

Gotta keep busy.

Stay occupied.

Don't think.

Stop pondering.

Just quit!

I can't.

People are watching.

Make them stop.

I don't want.

And I want it all.

Life.

Love.

Happiness.

A hand. 

I need a hand.

To hold.

and help.

Help.

Make it stop.

The quiet. 

Is too loud.

  1. Grief and grieving can be an ugly hand to hold seems to pop up at times when you think you are finally
    ready to move on in life.
    It makes you do things
