Sometimes the silence gets too loud.

I sat in my room
Getting my fingers tangled
In my unwashed brown hair
I examined my legs
As they swung back and forth
On the edge of my bed

Someone called me

I didn't have the energy to answer

I sat there
Hair tangled
Legs examined
Eyes dark
Cellphone ringing

I turned off my phone
And laid on my side

I thought I wanted complete silence
I thought I wanted peace
But hours passed and I missed my phone ringing
I missed hearing voices
And footsteps coming down the hall

I shut everyone out

And the silence drove me crazy.
