A constant blare
blurring the view
the static sound
a soft hush

it lulls the hope of happiness
a scratching
deep within the mind
shhhhh....

a rapping
inviting me to the other side
where fear and shame are left behind
shhhh....

who am I?
is this what I've become?
an empty husk
of lies and doubt
shhhh....

I wish the static would drown this out
It destroys everything but regret
please forgive me
shhhh....

The sound so staggering
leaves me weary
in time the static is comforting

replacing incredulity
in time it's quite clear to see
the other side was meant for me




shhhh....
