silence needed

aren't there times when you really can't tolerate the noise around you? there may be great sounds around, sounds like music and cheering and laughter. but more often than not, you hear things you don't wanna listen to. things that drive you nuts and you just hope they'll go away.

then i'll remember how i used to play in the pool.

i'd dive all the way down and sit at the bottom of the pool and hold my breath there. drowning out all other noises, entering a world where i find peace. where i feel as though i really belong there.

a world where there's only my own thoughts...and my heartbeat.

when there's no audience in my life theatre, i can only cheer louder on my own to carry on the show.
