Poem

[This is a poem I wrote about my double ear infection that won't go away. All I can hear is the beating of my own heart.]

A drum beats inside my head
It’s all I hear
Beating me into submission, I surrender
It’s too much
The music of misery is the music that no one else can hear
It’s the saddest music of all
I look for help, but none comes
I’m all by myself
No room for all my thoughts
There’s too much pressure
The distant echo of sounds heard by others is all I can hear

I march to the beating of my drums
