Overwhelmed

Too long, Too loud, Too close

I’ve spent 

Too long

Hearing voices

Too loud

Feeling bodies

Too close

 

Now every off-key voice

That choruses songs I don’t like

Drills into my ears

 

Now every casual touch

Unintentional or not

Makes me flinch away

Too long

Hearing voices

Too loud

Feeling bodies

Too close

 

Has me longing for

The quiet

The dark

The empty

 

Has me longing for

The places

I can feel spaces

Around me

Has me longing for

The places

I can’t hear traces

Of other people

Yet a beautiful piece of art expressing the kindness of heart. Great work!
