I understand the fear of silence
I now choked down the thought
Spent waiting in anticipation
For other shoe to drop

Hidden in that void
Where soul should find it’s asleep
Instead is deafened mind
In pounding of heartbeat

Raw nerve vibrate
Staccato on the pulse
Crackle with confusion
Leave you at a loss

Direction ever lacking
Bounce one to the next
Putting out the fire
Insanity has set
