I always wondered what life would be like with no sounds at night.
If it would be calm and soothing,
Or empty and scary.
I don’t understand why I ask these questions,
But one thing is for sure, I have an imagination.
The noises are calm and soothing when you know you are safe.
But it is empty and scary wondering where all the sound went.
Without these sounds, I would go nuts, crazy, and insane.
People like it when it is really noisy like New York.
Others like it silent when in Plainfield.
My silent night to me is all about music and trees rustling.
I am going to find someplace silent one day and be free.

Mind Over Matter
So something about me and how I write is that it only happens sporadically and when it does, it all comes out at once. These poems just seem to spill out of me quickly within a couple minutes and I usually make very few edits. I don't force myself to write (probably why I never get better haha!) and I try not to change or edit what falls onto the page unless it's a spelling or syllable errors. It surprises me how it seems to come out in correct rhythem and rhyme. Many times as song lyrics. Anyway.. this spilled out of me one night in 2015 when I was lost in thought dwelling on that familiar arch enemy of mine... my mental addiction that creeps around and never leaves me.
