Sedatephobia

I've never been one to sleep in silence. The mummurs of conversation from a stream or a playlist serenade me in bed. To be unaccompained to my dreams is a fate often met with consequence. So I refuse to live in a world without noise. This isn't a saviour though. Sometimes I feel as if I've woken up, although the world around me is hushed. only a faint ringing can be heard if I speak. My words meaningless to those around me. Before long these dreams evolved. A mouth sewn shut, experiences untold. A soul not worth remembering. Unexpressive, hopeless, choking on saliva and tears. To look at my glassy impression in every reflection and see her. Is she worth love?


Diary Excerpts

"It happened again. I know dreams where you can't shout are common, but this was different. I couldn't even hear anything, not even the music I fell asleep to. Just this ringing..."

"...They coudn't hear me! Not because I wasn't speaking. My mouth felt glued over. My tongue just kept hitting a fleshy wall. I wasn't alone, but ███ didn't care. I know she does and yet these dreams are convinced of a different story..."
