I Tried

I tried closing my eyes.

I tried numbing the feeling through excitement.

I tried burying myself in loudness.

I tried hiding.

But it shows.

It shows till there’s no more place to hide.

I tried Everything.

But it only amplifies.

I tried running away.

I tried drowning myself in the sea of noise.

The quieter it is,

The deeper I feel.

I tried crying it away.

But all it does is cave in.

I tried to break free,

It only tugs me further in.

I tried.

I really did.

It just doesn’t go away
