Sounds
The sound of the Rain
Can be such a pain
It sounds like the water
Washing out my Brain.
The buzz of a clock
Vibrates in my head
Sounds like a drill
They took to my skull.
Sometimes the sound of ...
Just plain talking
Makes me feel like
Simply walking away.
The sounds of everyday life
Now gives me such strife
Sometimes they just hurt
From inside my head.
Who can understand the sounds
just the way they pound
Inside my poor head?
