There's no god. There's no religion. There's only life, what you do with YOUR life, who YOU let affect YOUR life. Bad things happen to everyone, you just have to learn to deal with them.

Soft clicking.
Tolerable.
Growing into a screeching.
Annoyed.
Paying more attention.
Thousands of bees buzzing in my ear.
Unbearable.
Earsplitting, torturous.
Head cracking open.
So loud I can't think straight.
I'm leaning my head against a jet engine.
Then all I hear
Is a deafening silence.
