Grounded

The silence is deafening
The only noise is in my head
With every moment that passes
The more I’m filled with dread

Total boredom is the key
They knew exactly what to do
If you were in my position
You’d be bored to death too

When in such a state
Your mind begins to soar
With thoughts you’ve never thought
And things never noticed before

Staring at the ceiling
I notice the lines and texture
And all the faces that were there
That had never come to measure

There is a very handsome man
Staring toward my window
And he always wears a frown
As if he is filled with woe

There is a giraffe in a forest
Eating at a tree
And a little one below it
Prancing around with glee

There are many faces on my wall
Some alive and some dead
There is a very great rock God
Who shot himself in the head

There is a heartthrob
Only a few feet away
With very beautiful eyes
That I could stare at all day

And over to his left
Are all the bands I love
That are rock, punk or emo
Or all of the above

Yet still my brain aches
With the continuing quiet
It will keep growing and growing
As if it were a giant

Silent screams fill the air
Not even breaking the room
But it’ll be over before I know it
This will not be my ending doom.
