Unnatural agony.


I hate noise. But I hate the silence too, The silence where my thoughts are loud, My visions blur. I hate the sun, But I hate the rain too, It fills me with doubts, And I'll never pour it out, Untill I burst into. I said I hate the rain, and I also despise the wind. Only if it would take my burdens along I'd say I love it! But it couldn't.
