Beautiful chaos

Screaming voices were my lullaby,
So how can I relax when it's all so quiet,
And I was conditioned to survive a war zone,
I don't trust the calm before the storm,
Silence is vulnerability and false comfort,
From silence chaos is born,
Silence is a blind tightrope walk,
One wrong breath is all it takes,
And you'll be thrown off the line,
Chaos is a predictable erratic storm that takes what it wants,
There is no safety blanket or misguidance,
And casualty's are to be expected,
No etiquette or caution required,
A playground for screaming souls,
I'd take that any day over silence.
