Noise

Noise, noise, noise, that’s what fills my head right now.

I can’t let it out; I can’t allow the noise to stop.

Other thoughts keep knocking at the door trying to gain access to my focus.

I must not let them in.

The noise keeps them out.

I focus on the beat pounding from the radio speakers,

The words that transport me to another reality,

The timer ticking away next to my daily task list.

My mind grows weary the constant noise is too much.

I sit down and close my eyes.

The noise relaxes;

My thoughts slow down and begin to drift…NO!

I can’t think that; I have to fight it; I have to keep pushing on.

Turn on the music, make it full blast.

Read a good book, make the noise last!
