My ears ring with the insults

Slashing happy thoughts 

Destroying images I've created. 

I try to keep them turned down.

Max volume!

Funny I thought I could be valued

That I can hold meaning.

What was I thinking that someone could. 

Silly me. 

I need to fix this knob. 

It's all too loud. 

And I want to sleep.
