Deafening Thoughts

As I get older I find
I gotta constantly raise
the volume button.. 

Straining to hear
diminishing praise
fading in the distance..

As the audio fades

I have finally found

the time for contemplation

free from noisy distractions

that drowned out my thought process

Now I find refuge in the silence
and the age old solace
of never again having to hear
what I don't wanna believe

Alone in my warm blanket of tranquility..

Liberated from the maddening cacophony

that now rolls on loudly without me
