Sounds of Distraction

An entry for the Moment of Silence Acrostic Challenge

By Joshua HessPublished about a year ago 1 min read

So exhausted and fully worn down by my own thoughts

In these soundless surroundings I hear the echoing of regrets

Leaving me as uncomfortable as a lost child

Emptiness fills me in this absolute stillness

No conversation or music to fulfill myself

Cease fire on these emotions please

Envelope me safely back into the sounds of distraction
