Yearning for simplicity in the chaos of modern life is exhausting.

Everyone is talking all at once.

I can’t handle the pleasures they claim to enjoy.

When my family is chatting, or when people are nearby,

I always distance myself,

And no one understands why.

I think if I speak, no one will hear.

If I think aloud, no one listens.

So I sit in my head and wait for them to get bored with my silent episode,

so I can be alone.

I’m only understood when I’m alone,

because no one is there to question everything I do,

or to judge my existence.

But I am there.

And I judge,

and question,

my own existence.
