The silence was broken

like a million shards of glass

crashing to the floor, the sound,

deafening, making it impossible

to concentrate, on any given level.

Sadly, I realize the only escape,

is across the room, and once again

as I am drowning in the noise,

I reluctantly sigh, knowing

with one simple movement, I

can shut out the world just by

closing my door.
