《Tales of Light》It’s So Quiet… Why Can’t I Sleep?
Advertisement
It’s so quiet here, but I can’t sleep. It’s so quiet here since all my roommates moved out… Only accompanied by the sound of the air vent and a fan that squeaks… every now and then... I’ve only been alone for 7 hours and I feel like I’m going crazy. Sitting alone in a nearly empty living room… and hearing noises… probably the upstairs neighbors… the anthem of the dead sing silently as I stare at my box… People talking without speaking… it’s so quiet… even the noise of the lights screaming colors at me are as hollow as ever. Trapped in a room with my thoughts. Too cluttered but empty as the room I sit in. I can hear it running through my head as the choir sings… Its so peaceful in the quiet morphing into madness. Yet there are people around me, divided by barriers. Never alone yet always alone. I dare not speak cause no one will answer except the voice of my thoughts. Is this madness? Trapped in a room yet at the same time free with no regard for others? It’s so quiet here, yet I can’t sleep. No one creeping around at night, the ghost of pool balls clatter in my mind… yet when I look… there’s just a dining room table. It’s so quiet, why can’t I sleep? I can do what I want but I just feel like trapping myself in my room. Yet… even my room feels dead. With all the decorations and items I could need. Yet it feels as hollow as my mechanical heart. I should feel sad? Glad? That my roommates are gone and I’ve got all this space? Indifferent is what my mind is telling me. Something’s missing. I feel like I’m being watch yet no one’s there. It’s so quiet, why can’t I sleep? My heart remains calm as my mind races beyond infinity… No… further. Every conversation replaying in my head, yet the words aren’t there. Just people going through the motions of talking. No can hear my thoughts if I speak yet I talk as if someone is still there. My head hurts from thinking, yet that’s all what it does. The job I dread going to for a few hours a week is what I look forward to. There’s nothing here but ghosts. I don’t know what to do. I’m so tired… but I can’t sleep.
