Analysis of Grating Annoyances
My ears cannot stand the sound.
Bleeding out drip by bloody drip.
Within this spot I am trapped, I am bound.
My reality cannot not hold my grip.
My mind cannot stand the constant buzzing.
Thoughts they race this way and that.
I feel my racing brain waves kind of soul crushing.
Wishing I could disappear, Falling all flat.
No meditation or therapy, I can escape in my mind,
Peace and quiet and just a little extra time.
Because I cannot stand most of mankind.
I cannot stand this constant use of Rhyme.
For the noise outside my comfort zone.
Makes me glad I am alone.
