The silence

How can I silence the silence?
It screams!
So deafening and penetrating, it carves my mind and digs deeper into my concrete thoughts to find salvation...
Others welcome it
Demand it
Crave it
Me?
It hurts me.
The steady numb humming of nothingness.
The dead silky touch of neutral emptiness.
It is louder than a thousand jet engines
It drives me crazy
Shush silence!
Be gone...
