The first few times everything went quite on me

It was sheer sensory overload

To prepare me to handle the encroaching life of lies, false hope's and broken dreams

I was broken down early on and when the world rattled to loud my ears would ring

As the screams and scenes of horror built up around me

It would all go quiet

So I could think

And think I did

About the nature of existence and how humans seemed hardwired to evolve out of contradictions
