Quietness

Quietness

Quiet, we equate quietness with peace, tranquility a time of relaxation. That couldn't be the opposite for people like me. Quiet is deafening! Silence is so loud with the hurricane of demons that reside in my head. They scream and crawl to the surface in times of silence. You will never find me without headphones in or some sort of noise during these times. Trying to drown out the noise that they create. All those scary thoughts that we try and push down come to light in times of stillness. We pray for the day that we can take off our headphones and take a deep breath. To breath in the complete tranquility of nothingness to silence those demons and be at peace.

Wow! I can relate as though seeing this through a horror movie. Must have the headphones, must have the artificial noise or the music to keep the demons away. You said it all in a few lines. Nice write.
