Soul sucking silence

I'm so sad

About the fact

That caffeine helps

Me to feel better

Another addiction

Added to the pool

Of existing distractions

So that I never

Learn to be alone

With myself

And my thoughts

And my feelings

 

There's always another

Voice in the background

Be it a video 

Or a podcast

Or music

Or a movie

Or an episode of TV series

Or an audiobook

That keeps playing

Mind numbingly loud

So that I don't ever

Have to be alone

In the depths

Of the soul sucking silence
