Misophonia


Too loud too loud too loud

Click click click click

Tap tap tap tap tap

All I hear are those awful sounds

Muffled talking

Loud screaming

Typing

Chewing

Smacking

Eating

Gross please make it stop

This is real

Not just for me

But everyone else

I can’t stand sounds

The sounds of anything

Except music

Music is the only thing that saves me

Tones and repetitiveness

I can’t do that

But drums

And cellos

Guitars, pianos, saxophones

Those are all okay

I’m sorry

None of this is my fault

I wish it didn’t bother me

Trust me

I do.

But it does.

I hate it

Probably more than you do.

You should be thankful

Because you don’t.

It makes my skin crawl

I get hot

Dizzy

I shake

Every sound gets amplified

Please forgive me

I’m sorry

Damn misophonia!
