...The Mind Noise...

It's 1:00 AM...
My mind is wandering...
Did that happen...
...two years ago...
...or...
...was that 2 days ago...
Maybe it will happen...
...2 weeks from now...
Do you hear it...
The Static...
The Chaos...
The Mind Noise...

It's 3:00 AM...
Was that 2 hours ago...
I don't know...
...but the mind noise...
...is gone...
And now...
...I hear...
...the voice...
Reminding me...
...of ghosts...
...and monsters...

I'm not sure...
...if it's coming from...
...my left shoulder...
...or my right...
Either way...
The Mind Noise...
...wins...
...again....
...Tonight.

Breathe...
