Begging For Silence


Constant noise

ringing insesantly in my ears

day and night

without rest.

 

No silence

No calming sounds

Just irritating distractions.

These are the voices of the ignorant

 

Stupid questions

Ridiculous answers

Why can't they just 

use their common sense?

 

Trying to write 

in a class full of noise;

none of my lines,

my thoughts, are making any sense.

 

This is terrible.

My talent,

Just being wasted

all because they won't lend me silence.
